Presentation System Status

✅ Issue Resolved

The merge conflict issue has been identified and fixed. The presentation system is now properly configured.

What Was Wrong

The _config.yml file had a YAML indentation error at line 213. The presentations collection default scope was incorrectly nested as a child of the previous scope’s values block, instead of being a sibling list item in the defaults array.

This syntax error prevented Jekyll from parsing the configuration correctly, which meant:

  • The presentations collection was not being processed
  • The prototype presentation was not being generated
  • The homepage button would link to a non-existent page

What Was Fixed

Fixed the indentation in _config.yml:

  • Moved the presentations default scope from 4-space indentation to 2-space indentation
  • Made it a proper sibling entry in the defaults array

Current State

All required files are present and properly configured:

Infrastructure ✅

  • _config.yml - Fixed YAML syntax, presentations collection configured
  • _layouts/reveal.html - Reveal.js layout template
  • _includes/presentation/head.html - Presentation head with theme CSS
  • _includes/presentation/navbar.html - Navigation chrome (home link, quick links, logo)
  • _includes/presentation/scripts.html - Reveal.js initialization
  • css/presentations.css - Presentation-specific styles

Content ✅

  • _presentations/standardization-prototype.html - Prototype presentation deck
  • index.html - Homepage with blue alert button (lines 41-50)
  • img/centraal_logo_blanco.png - Logo for presentations

Reveal.js Assets ✅

  • js/reveal.js - Core Reveal.js library
  • css/reveal.css - Base Reveal.js styles
  • css/theme/night.css - Night theme
  • Plugins: menu, notes, highlight, zoom, markdown

What Should Happen Next

When Jekyll rebuilds the site (automatically on GitHub Pages or manually with bundle exec jekyll serve):

  1. Homepage: A blue info alert box will appear with:
    • Heading: “Presentation Template Prototype”
    • Description text about testing the unified layout
    • Button: “Explore the prototype deck”
  2. Presentation: Clicking the button will navigate to /presentations/standardization-prototype/ which will show:
    • Full-screen Reveal.js presentation with night theme
    • Navigation chrome at top-left:
      • “← Back to Home” button
      • “Debug Notes” quick link
      • Centraal logo (top-right)
    • Six slides demonstrating the system
    • Menu plugin (press ‘m’ or click menu icon)
    • Speaker notes (press ‘s’)
  3. Location on Homepage: The button appears after the introduction columns and before the statement section, which matches the screenshot location you indicated.
