Hi. Does anybody know a software for creating presentations with code highlighting and transitions between code snippets? (Example:

This particular presentation looks like the one powered by one of the several html frameworks.

LaTeX+Beamer has highlighting feature.

If you're not fan of LaTeX or HTML and prefer Powerpoint-like programs, some editors (like Notepad++ or VSCode, if I recall correctly) support copy/paste with colors or some advanced export (i.e. .doc/.rtf).

For code highlighting, cutting from VS Code and pasting into PowerPoint works fairly well, though tabs are lost

idea has rich text copy built in: https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2015/02/using-rich-text-copy-in-intellij-idea-14-1-2/

all that you need to do is copy it into some program that can display the color scheme

I personally paste code from IDE (IntelliJ or Android Studio) into Keynote, this keeps colors, I just have to fix the background color of the slides to match the light gray, and then I just use Magic Move from Keynote.

do you know if there is a good linux alternative that supports styled code blocks ?
i do not have a macbook and i am sure not gonna use powerpoint again

@Nikky You can use Keynote on the web from icloud.com, creating an account without any Apple devices still gets you 1GB of free storage which should be enough for doing Keynote presentations 😉
