A Hugo theme for creating WebSlides presentations using markdown.
Hugo-WebSlides is a Hugo theme designed for creating WebSlides presentations using markdown. It allows users to build modern, web-based slide decks by writing content in markdown and leveraging the WebSlides.js library for styling and interactivity. The theme solves the problem of manually coding HTML/CSS for presentations by providing a streamlined, markdown-driven workflow.
Developers, technical writers, and educators who use Hugo and want to create web-based presentations without leaving their markdown workflow. It's ideal for those familiar with static site generators seeking a presentation solution.
Developers choose Hugo-WebSlides because it integrates presentation creation directly into the Hugo ecosystem, enabling markdown-based slide generation with the flexibility of WebSlides.js. Its unique selling point is the ability to assign CSS classes via comments, avoiding HTML while maintaining full styling control.

Allows creating slides entirely in markdown using horizontal rulers to separate them, as shown in the 'Adding content' section of the README.
Enables assigning CSS classes to slides and elements without writing HTML, using syntax like '<!-- : .class -->' detailed in the 'Assign properties' part.
Built on WebSlides.js, providing responsive and accessible slide decks out of the box, as mentioned in the features list.
Seamlessly works with Hugo, allowing the use of shortcodes and static site generation, ideal for developers already using Hugo.
The README indicates 'Future Implementation: More component shortcodes!', showing a current shortage of pre-built elements compared to comprehensive presentation tools.
Requires Hugo installation and configuration, adding overhead for users not familiar with static site generators.
Some configuration parameters are inverted from WebSlides defaults, such as 'disableLoop', which can be error-prone as noted in the configuration section.
