[IPython-dev] ipythonblocks & PyCon Talk

[Damián Avila]

Matt,

Maybe you can use the reveal_converter to do the slides for your talk.
A few days ago, the UI to get the *label* of each cell, to render 
properly as a slideshow, was merged to the ipython dev master repository...
The converter will be reviewed soon, but you can use it if you want...
Here is the curret PR: https://github.com/ipython/nbconvert/pull/69
And here you have an example of what can be done:

<http://slideviewer.herokuapp.com/url/www.slideviper.oquanta.info/nbcreveal/example_nb_tour.ipynb#/>
I will publish soon a kind of tutorial slideshow to show the main 
features of this converter...

Cheers.

Damián.
