1. Soundcheck: Can you all hear and see me?
2. IRC channel: #html-slide-editors
3. Who can take minutes (preferably in IRC)?
4. Please mute if you're not speaking (avoids keyboard noise, echo, etc.)
5. W3C events operate under the Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct and Antitrust and Competition Guidance.
   

Goals of this breakout

1. Discuss how we get people to create slides in HTML for W3C events
2. Demonstrate and discuss two editors (under development) for HTML slides:

   1. Markdown editor for b6+

      (Markdown)

      

   2. B6+ slide editor

      (WYSIWYG)

      

Markdown slide editor for b6+

B6+ is Javascript for presenting slides. (Shower also works, but in this version, b6+ is hardcoded)

Features

• Markdown syntax for slides and notes
• Save to file, import/export Markdown, export HTML
• Preview
• Play slides directly from the editor
• Support for math
• Possibility to make editors with specific style sheets (URL params)

Demo

• Default style sheet (b6+)
• Generic W3C slides style
• AC 2026 slides style

B6+ slide editor

Features

• WYSIWYG & source editor
• Edit local or online slides (HTTP GET/PUT)
• Manuals for editor and for style sheet
• Text editor for CSS
• Structured editing (Esc key)
• Play the slide show directly from the editor

Demo

Source on GitHub (and links to pre-built binaries)

Some things still to do

• SVG images
• Publish to Solid pods
• Spell checker improvements
• Easy creation of <figure>
• Change order of slides
• Find & replace
• Easy creation of built-up slides
• Undo across view changes
• More b6+ features (clock…)
• More style sheet features
• Use system password manager
• Feedback if waiting on network
• Print
• Better (built-in) Play function
• Better modal dialogs
• Catchy name?
  

What's missing?

• Other ways to publish?
• Editing of images? diagrams?
• Templates?
• …

How do people choose a slide editor?

… and thus: what should the b6+ slide editor offer?

• It is already on their computer
• It's what they always used
• It offers a certain feature (which?)
• It is compatible with / allows integration with something (what?)
• It is easy to use, has a good manual, support, help from colleagues
• Can reuse old slides

And for TPAC and the AC meeting

• What would make a slide editor especially useful for TPAC?
• And for other W3C events (workshops, member events…)?
