Description

What is Reveal.js-Title-Footer?

Reveal.js-Title-Footer is a plugin for the Reveal.js framework for HTML presentations (https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js).

What does Reveal.js-Title-Footer do?

Reveal.js-Title-Footer includes a footer in all the slides of a Reveal.js presentation (with optional exclusion of some slides) that will show the title of the presentation.

Configurable options

The title to show on the footer is configurable.

The background color of the footer is also configurable.

Installation

Necessary files

The title-footer folder of the plugin folder has to be copied to the plugin folder of the Reveal.js presentation.

CSS

The CSS of the Reveal.js-Title-Footer plugin is included dynamically when it is initialized. However, if we configure the presentation not to include the Reveal.js-Title-Footer footer in the first page, this will be shown until the CSS is loaded dynamically, causing an ugly effect. To avoid it, include the CSS in the header of the Reveal.js presentation, with this line:

Plugin initialization

Include Reveal.js-Title-Footer among the Reveal.js plugin initializations, like this:


Reveal.initialize
(
    {
        ...
        dependencies:
        [
            ...
            {
                src: 'plugin/title-footer/title-footer.js',
                async: true,
                callback: function()
                {
                    title_footer.initialize();
                }
            }
        ]
    }
);

Customization

The title_footer.initialize function can take two parameters:

  • title: the title to show in the footer; if null, it will take the h1, h2 and h3 elements of the first slide.
  • background: a string of the form 'rgba(0,255,0,0.1)', for the background colour of the footer.

For further customization (like making the footer a header, for example), arrange the plugin/title-footer/title-footer.css file accordingly.

Use

Title

The Reveal.js-Title-Footer plugin takes the first h1, h2 and h3 tags from the first slide as the title, if another title is not explicitly passed as parameter in the initialization.

Exclusion from slides

The Reveal.js-Title-Footer footer will not be shown in a slide if the corresponding section has a data-state attribute with a value of no-title-footer.

Compatibility with Reveal.js-TOC-Progress

If the Reveal.js-TOC-Progress is also used, the Reveal.js-Title-Footer footer is shown just above it. For not showing any of them in a slide, include a data-state attribute with a value of no-toc-progress in the corresponding section.
