Easier speaker notes and background colors with CSS, configurable reveal.js plugins, new floating roles and support for reveal.js 3.6 and 3.7 new options. This is a major release due to a breaking Node.js API change.

Distribution

Changelog

Upgrade considerations

  • Node.js API change!

If you generate your reveal.js presentations using the node/javascript toolchain, you need to change how the Asciidoctor-reveal.js back-end is registered to Asciidoctor.js. Instead of require('asciidoctor-reveal.js') you need to do:

    var asciidoctorRevealjs = require('asciidoctor-reveal.js');
    asciidoctorRevealjs.register()

This change enables new use cases like embedding a presentation in a React web app.

  • Anchor links generated by Asciidoctor-reveal.js will change from now on when revealjs_history is set to true (default is false). This is the consequence of upstream fixing a long-standing issue (see #1230 and #2037 and us removing a workaround (see #232). Explicit anchors are not affected.
  • Custom CSS might require adjustments. Source and listing block are less deeply nested into div blocks now. See #195 and #223.
  • The reveal.js marked and markdown plugins are disabled by default now. It is unlikely that they could have been used anyway. See #204.
  • Dropped the ability to override the Reveal.JS theme and transitions dynamically with the URL query. Was not compatible with Reveal.JS 3.x series released 4 years ago.

Enhancements

  • Easier speaker notes: a .notes role that apply to many AsciiDoc blocks (open, sidebar and admonition) (#202)
  • Added a role right that would apply a float: right to any block where it would be assigned (#197, #213, #215)
  • Allow the background color of slides to be set using CSS (#16, #220, #226, #229)
  • Reveal.js's fragmentInURL option now supported (#206, #214)
  • Documentation improvements (#141, #182, #190, #203, #215, #216, #222)
  • Support for Asciidoctor.js 1.5.6 and build simplification (#189, #217)
  • Support to specify and use reveal.js plugins without modifying Asciidoctor-reveal.js's source code (#196, #118, #201, #204)
  • Node / Javascript back-end is now loaded on-demand with the register() method.
    This allows embedding Asciidoctor-reveal.js into React or any other modern Javascript environment.
    (#205, #218, #219)
  • revealjsdir attribute is set to a more sensible default when running under Node.js (#191, #228)
  • Node / Javascript back-end updated to use Asciidoctor.js 1.5.9. This extension is built with Opal 0.11.99.dev (6703d8d) in order to be compatible. (#227, #240)

Compliance

  • AsciiDoc source callout icons now work (#54, #168, #224)
  • New reveal.js 3.7.0 features supported: controlsTutorial, controlsLayout, controlsBackArrows, new slideNumber formats, showSlideNumber, autoSlideMethod, parallaxBackgroundHorizontal, parallaxBackgroundVertical and display configuration parameters are now supported (#212, #239, #208, #242
  • Asciidoctor 2.0 ready (#245)

Bug Fixes

  • Reveal.js' stretch class now works with listing blocks (#195, #223)
  • Auto-generated slide IDs with unallowed characters (for revealjs history) now work properly. Upstream reveal.js fixed a bug in 3.7.0 (#2037) and we removed our broken workaround. (#192, #232)

Infrastructure::

  • Travis testing prepared for upcoming Asciidoctor 2.0 (#216)
  • Travis testing for Ruby 2.6 (#243)
