Build one file¶

Hand someone a single HTML file that opens with a double click.

mkdeck build talk --single-file --out talk.html

The command inlines the stylesheets and the scripts into talk.html. When the deck has rollouts, it folds them in too. As a result, the file opens from a file:// URL.

Choose the output name¶

With --single-file, an --out path that ends in .html is the file itself. Any other name is a folder that holds index.html:

mkdeck build talk --single-file --out share

Keep the assets beside the file¶

The command also writes your assets/ folder next to the HTML file, so keep the two together when the slides show HTML pages or images. Fonts are the exception, because a font that your CSS loads with url() travels inside the file when the font sits in the deck folder.

Build again¶

A build into a .html file keeps no .mkdeck-build.json list. Because the file may sit in a folder that mkdeck does not own, mkdeck removes nothing there.

Limits¶

Next: Serve a deck.
