Description John Stowers 2012-03-08 16:58:46 UTC
Hi,

I implemented the ability to define slide contents in an external file.

I also added the ability to insert the stdout of a command line tool as the slide contents. This allows (for example, implemented using gnu source-highlight) super cool presentations where syntax highlighted code is shown in the slide and can be executed, without having to write anything.

The external file support is here
https://github.com/nzjrs/pinpoint/tree/external-file

The external tool support is here
https://github.com/nzjrs/pinpoint/tree/external-file-output

There is an example in 
examples/codepresentation.pin

Run it from the examples dir and make sure gnu source-highlight is installed.

There is very little (none) error checking, but it worked really well for a presentation I had to give.

pinpoint is not under active development anymore since 2015.
Its codebase has been archived:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/pinpoint/commits/master

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project
to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the
responsibility for active development again.
