A more powerful alternative to Org-present

Emacs
1

Hi all!

Recently I discovered Prot’s excellent package Logos which I have been using ever since. It’s a focus minor mode that can narrow and navigate depending on an alist of regular expressions. It can hide the mode line, enable Olivetii etc. I actually use it in basically every mode now since I have the buffer name in the frame title and GNOME tells me all the info I need anyway.

But the best feature I have found is that it can replace Org-present, but since it works based on regular expressions it can work in any mode!

Set the desired regexps for each mode. Then when presenting simply use logos-narrow-dwim. Navigation is possible by logos-forward-page-dwim and logos-backward-page-dwim. Setting them to any key and then enabling repeat-mode allows for easy navigation during presentations. There is also logos-buffer-read-only, which can be useful.

I’m also using Prot’s other package, Spacious Padding, and Fontaine can also be used to easily set the fonts. I’ve tested the setup quite a bit and I’ve found it works really nicely. Try it out :slight_smile:

Thank you for sharing. I wondered what was logos and nobody talked much about it.

This explains it, time to explore it. I thought dslide was more powerful… GitHub - positron-solutions/dslide: Present anything Emacs can do with programmable, extensible, configurable slides & presentation steps made from org mode headings

Dslide can definitely do more.

Doesn’t it only work with Org mode though?

5

Can logos do animations?

This ain’t a playground argument :sweat_smile: Logos can be useful if you need a simple setup which works across major modes. More power to you if you prefer Dslide and find it better for Org!

I wasn’t trying to argue either. Dslide can do different more
complicated things, like animations. While Logos is simpler.

This whole thing seems to be a misunderstanding, I was replying to zororg, “I thought dslide was more powerful”

Oh I see, my bad dude!
