Separate local source for markdown?

[bielsnohr]

First off, thanks for this template. Really slick and useful.

I'm wondering if it is possible to have a separate file with the markdown source in it like mentioned in the remark.js documentation:

External Markdown

Depending on your preference, you might want to keep the Markdown source in a separate file. Using the sourceUrl field, a URL may be specified which will get loaded synchronously and used instead of the two former options:

var slideshow = remark.create({
 sourceUrl: 'markdown.md'
});

When working locally, with your slideshow HTML opened directly from disk, using the sourceUrl won't work out of the box. This requires hosting your files using a web server, which can be accomplished in multiple ways, e.g. by running python3 -m http.server in the directory of your index.html file. With a web server up and running, say on port 8000, you should be able to access your files via http://localhost:8000.

Naively removing the <textarea> and sticking in sourceUrl as described above doesn't seem to work. Cheers!

Hi @bielsnohr - I always work that way - there are some examples on my personal account eg. https://github.com/bobthemighty/talk-eventbridge-is-so-hot
