== Overview ==

`PresentAPL` is a class that creates a slide show from a Markdown file: the result is - by default - a stand-alone HTML file that acts in any modern browser like a slide show. That's possible because it injects some CSS and some !JavaScript into that HTML file.

It also comes with an EXE. That allows you to create a presentation without having installed Dyalog at all, or not the required version (15.0 Unicode or better).

Example: [[attachment:About_PresentAPL.html | presentation in `PresentAPL` about `PresentAPL]].

Compare this with the simplicity of the [[attachment:About_PresentAPL.md | Markdown source file]].

`PresentAPL` version 2.1.0 (2017-01-01) is [[attachment:PresentAPL.zip | downloadable ]] from this page.

`ReadMe.html` is the first thing to read.

Note that only the script `PresentAPL.dyalog` and the file `PresentAPL.css` are under this license. The downloadable zip file contains other files as well, but they are members of the APLTree project &mdash; see http://aplwiki.com/CategoryAplTree for details.

Most notably `PresentAPL` needs `MarkAPL`, a Markdown-to-HTML5 converter written in Dyalog. See [[MarkAPL]] for details.
