This repository contains a template for presentations at the IVC institute using the [Reveal JS](https://revealjs.com/) framework, which is a web-based alternative to presentation slides.

The benefit of having a web-based presentation is the cross plattform compatibility.
While this is already possible with a simple PDF, Reveal JS can easily handle videos and it is more elegant to host the presentation on a domain and thus simply share a link instead of a 100 MB presentation file.
A live demo can be accessed [here](https://presentations.rakuschek.at/template/).
