Trilium Presenter Plugin

Turn any Trilium note into a fullscreen presentation -- directly from Trilium, with one click.

Features

• One-click presentations from any note with children
• Markdown slides with Pandoc-compatible syntax (columns, speaker notes, code blocks)
• Depth-first traversal -- organize slides in sub-topics, they unfold automatically
• Presenter mode with speaker notes and slide list, synced via BroadcastChannel
• Handout/PDF export with one page per slide
• Theme system -- CSS + SVG backgrounds as Trilium notes, selectable per presentation
• Slide templates -- 11 ready-made layouts for quick slide creation
• Keyboard & mouse navigation with progress bar
• Configurable language via #presenterLang label

Installation

1. Download trilium-presenter-plugin.zip from the latest release
2. In Trilium, right-click any note in the tree and select Import into note
3. Select the downloaded .zip file
4. Trilium disables imported widgets by default -- open the Widget note inside the imported "Trilium Presenter" tree, find the #disabled:widget attribute and rename it to #widget
5. Reload Trilium (Ctrl+R) -- the Trilium Presenter widget appears in the right panel

Quick Start

Fastest way: Navigate to the imported Example Presentation note and click Present -- it walks you through all features including Markdown syntax, columns, images, and the Master/Clone workflow.

From scratch:

1. Create a note and add child notes -- each child becomes a slide
2. Set child note type to Code with language Markdown (text/x-markdown)
3. Navigate to your presentation note and click Present in the right panel

Slide Organization

Slides are collected via depth-first pre-order traversal:

My Presentation
  Title Slide              -> Slide 1
  Introduction             -> Slide 2
  Deep Dive                -> Slide 3 (section break)
    Details A              -> Slide 4
    Details B              -> Slide 5
  Conclusion               -> Slide 6

Container notes (text/html type) are skipped but their children are included. This lets you use folders to organize slides without creating empty slides.

Modes
