About This Task

This task makes use of the asciidoctor-reveal.js backend to render your documents into an HTML-based presentation. It creates a PowerPoint presentation, then enriches it by adding reveal.js slide definitions in AsciiDoc to the speaker notes. For best results, use this task with the exportPPT task.

Configure RevealJs

docToolchain comes with some opinionated, sane defaults for RevealJs. You can overwrite any of them and provide further configuration as per asciidoctor-reveal.js documentation.
