Presentations as Code // How to use the Obsidian Advanced Slides plugin

The Obsidian Advanced Slides plugin is a great way to create presentations as code (or notes) from right inside your Obsidian vault. Using this plugin has helped me reduce the friction and the time between creating something and sharing it, whether that's a presentation, a coding project, a video, or a blog post.

The variety and functionality of plugins that people have written for Obsidian is truly amazing!

[fmkoba]

ok, this is the incentive I needed to revamp some old presentations I’ve been procrastinating for a while

[Xedualc]

I used to use a VS Code extension doing exactly that. I'm very glad there's a plugin for Obsidian as well. Thx for the vid!

[goldenknowledge]

this is amazing. first time im hearing about html slides but this is a game changer. im thinking to host important slides online and just send people a QR code that links to it. can probably work as a sales copy as well. sky is the limit

You've always been a keystone of the Obsidian community. We love how you can assuage our curiosity about something related to Obsidian quickly with your summaries. Your a faithful rock - keeping us up to date and saving us valuable time. We can always trust we'll get value out of your videos. They're appropriately detailed and appropriately succinct at the same time. Edited with obvious thoughtfulness and care. Thank you!

Great video again. Another useful trick when you are in presentation mode: Press CTRL and click to the area which you want to emphasize. This will zoom in. Another CTRL + click will zoom out again.

Great video. Extremely informative. Once you get the basics, it's not so intimidating.

Braingasm. I love this. Great demo too. I love Obsidian. I've used so many documentation tools over the years in this space, and its great to see how Obsidian is thriving with these community plugins. Kudos!

Great video!!! Very cool Nicole! Back in Uni I once made a presentation in LaTex haha :D Obsidian Advanced Slides looks so much better and is so much easier

[AntlerMoth]

This is the best video about Advanced slides!

[hdubbs]

Neato! I don't have any use for the slides right now, but it might become a little more useful for me, once I start working full time.

Hello Nicole!

Great video! I just want to ask you if you know how to write math expressions in slides? When I write something like $$x_1 = x_2$$ it appears well in slide show mode, but when I export presentation it disappears!

[benjaminjameswaller]

hey Nicole Love your content. Am learning a lot. I noted that the link your referred to from your recent presentation called Use it or lost it is wrong. 🤔 I would love to see that so pls update here once resolved. Thanks

I just gave a presentation in my Danish class and your instructions made creating my slides a breeze. Tusind tak!

Btw, I found out that instead of using that fragment comment after a bullet point to make it appear later, you could just use ”+” instead of ”-” to have the same effect.

Hi Nicole,
How to put a sort of table of contents (Outline;Summary) slide?

[dayana]

Wooww, really promising plugin, thanks for sharing!!

[vyccsml]

thanks for your introduction, but when I try this plugin, three dashes doesn't work at all, it's still in the same slides, I guess Obsidian assume it is still in the same block when I used # in slides, would you please to help me out?

[eltonleao]

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 insanely amazing! thanks a lot.

[ClarkeScott]

Hi Nicole. Grat video again!. Thank you for all you work. Question: is there a way to edit the themes to match ones brand colors?
