Common Use Cases

PDF Export

Slideshows can be exported in PDF using the corresponding icon on the edition page. Export is done by WeasyPrint that should be installed automatically with Slight.

If you get errors while generating your slideshows, please take a look at WeasyPrint’s documentation that includes an installation guide and a troubleshooting section.

HTTP Server

Slight is a WSGI application based on Flask and can thus be put behind a “real” HTTP server. To get information about different possibilities, you can follow the hints provided by Flask’s documentation.

If you don’t launch Slight using the slight executable, you can use Environment Variables to set the folders where your slides and themes are stored.
