Properties

I need to come up with a more consistent set of names for slide and deck level metadata

Page

Variable	Description
page.content	The rendered content of the page
page.title	The title of the page
page.date	The date assigned to the page
page.tags	The list of tags assigned to the page
page.file	The filename with extension .Rmd
page.link	The filename with extention .html
page.filename	The filename without any extension
page.raw	The contents of the .Rmd file
page.urls.framework	Relative path to the framework
page.urls.highlighter	Relative path to the highlighter
page.urls.widgets	Relative path to the widgets folder

Note: Any custom front matter that you specify will be available under page. For example, if you specify custom_css: true in a page's front matter, that value will be available in templates as page.custom_css

Slide

Variable	Description	Type
slide.title	The title of the slide with no markup	Text
slide.header	The title of the slide with markup	HTML
slide.level	The title header level (h1 - h6)	Number
slide.content	The contents of the slide sans header	HTML
slide.html	The contents of the slide with header	HTML
slide.num	The number of the slide	Number
slide.id	The id assigned to the slide	Text
slide.class	The class assigned to the slide	List
slide.bg	The background assigned to the slide	Text
slide.block	The slide block named block	List
slide.blocks	The slide blocks which are not named	List

TO DO

1. I should modify the paths variable to page.urls so that page.url can be used to refer to the url of the page. Hence, page.urls will contain lib, framework, assets, highlighters, widgets etc.

2. I should revisit names for layouts. One option is to follow jekyll and ruhoh and use default.html, page.html and post.html. Every framework can specify a default layout. This will allow slide generation frameworks to just use the default layout, while blog generation frameworks can use page or post.

3. I need to add visual tests for each framework, which would test all features. This would allow me to develop faster without worrying about regressions.
