Terraform Workshop

Workshop Presentation Mode

This is a lightweight presenter layer on top of the existing workshop pages. It keeps the normal documentation intact and opens each chapter in a cleaner workshop view with keyboard navigation.

How it works

  • The existing workshop pages stay unchanged as the source material.
  • Appending ?presentation=1 opens a chapter in presenter mode.
  • Appending ?presentation=1&sections=1 creates a title slide, then splits at ##, ###, and #### headings, bold command markers, and explicit slide breaks.
  • Left and right arrow keys move between chapters or sections, depending on the selected mode.
  • The bottom toolbar lets you jump back to the overview or open the normal docs view.
