Teaching

Build slide decks, labs, and course material from Markdown. Sarde renders presentations as full-screen slide viewers, organizes decks into SlideShare-style galleries, and turns a labs directory into a step-by-step workbook.

• Course Template starts a complete course website: courses with schedules and announcements, labs, a course catalog, and GitHub Pages publishing.
• Slides Collection covers the auto-detected slides collection type, gallery pages, and multi-course organization.
• Presentation Layout explains the full-viewport layout, per-page overrides, cascade, and dual-output workflows.
• Writing Slides covers slide separation syntax, authoring tips, and writing content that works as both docs and slides.
• Viewer Features documents navigation, themes, search, bookmarks, laser pointer, and keyboard shortcuts.
• Courses with Slides shows how to embed presentations inside docs or courses collections with sidebar integration.
• Labs covers the labs collection type, per-lab sidebars, step progress, and learning objectives.

Start from the course template

To start with a working course site rather than an empty project, create it from the course template. The command downloads the template from the sarde-templates repository, so it needs a network connection the first time:

sarde new site my-college --template course

Course Template walks through what the site contains, how to replace the sample courses and labs, and how to publish it on GitHub Pages.
