Framework to easily build beautiful slides from asciidoc files. These files were originally part of the workshop-sessions repository. They were separated out, so that they can be generally used for creating any kind of slides.

$ make

Check the contents of the slides.asciidoc and the rendered output in slides.html to know the various constructs to create a presentation.
