Embedding presentation slides on GitHub wiki pages


I am working on the open source project, uploaded on GitHub pages. I am writing its wiki pages on GitHub. I want to link the presentation slides uploaded on slideshare.net, related to this open source project.

Can you please advice me - how can I link my presentation slides on slideshare.net with GitHub wiki pages? I want to show a first slide (included title, date, author information) of PPT on GitHub wiki pages.

I am open to move my presentation slides on a site other than slideshare.net.


Solution

  • Embedding a slideshare presentation involves <iframe>, as mentioned in slideshare FAQ, and that is not supported in a wiki page.

    You can see all the markdown supported syntax in "Markdown-Cheatsheet", and that page ends up with an "integration" of a YouTube video: it is actually a picture, embedded in a classic html link.

    This could be the easiest solution for you: a picture of the first slide in an html link referencing the actual slideshare page.
    But that would mean leaving your wiki page for the slideshare one.
