Making the slides

These slides are written in reStructuredText and compiled with hieroglyph (a Python package).

To compile the slides, you need to first install hieroglyph on your computer:

easy_install hieroglyphy

and then make the slides with:

make slides

The slides are in the home directory, while the source is in the ./source/ subdirectory.

When this repository is pushed to the gh_pages branch of the FluPhylogeneticsModule GitHub repository, the slides will become available on GitHub Pages.

For example, a file named ./source/slides.rst will compile to slides.html with the make slides command, and after the pushing to the FluPhylogeneticsModule repository, the slides will be available for viewing at http://jbloom.github.io/FluPhylogeneticsModule/slides.html.
