I'm preparing a talk in org-reveal. I'm using a construct like this on several slides:

- Bulletpoint A
#+begin_src
Example code for A
#+end_src
- Bulletpoint B
#+begin_src
Example code for B
#+end_src

I would like to fragment this such that first, only Bulletpoint A (with its code example) is visible and, after a click, Bulletpoint B with its code shows up.

I have tried various things:

  • If I put a #+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag t on the line before - Bulletpoint A, then the list itself will be fragmented, but the code examples are both visible right from the start.
  • From this answer on fragmenting a table I've learned about @@html: <div class="fragment"… @@. However, I can't get this to work with source blocks. If I put the @@html: … @@ before the #+begin_src, then org-reveal wraps the custom HTML in a <p>…</p>, which of course means that the source block is not wrapped inside the fragmenting div anymore. If I put the @@html: … @@ inside the source block, it is output verbatim. I guess I would need to place the opening <div> right before the <pre> tag, but I don't see how to accomplish this in org-reveal.

So, two things would help me a lot:

  • Is there any way of assigning a fragment index to a source block? I don't need fragmenting inside the source blocks.
  • Is there a more comfortable way than manually writing the @@html: … @@ (or macros with the same content) at every bullet point and every source block?

    The problem might be that Org mode does not interpret this as a list of two elements. Try indenting (manually if necessary) the source blocks to the column under the B of Bulletpoint. Then put the cursor on the dash of the first item and say M-: (org-element-at-point). It should say (plain-list (:type unordered :begin 1 :end 139 ...) - the values of begin and end are going to be different in your case, but make sure that they encompass the whole list. Use C-x = to check. Now try with org-reveal again.

The way I solved this for me now is this. I first created these two macros to avoid the very verbose @@html syntax:

#+MACRO:  fb @@html: <div class="fragment" data-fragment-index="$1">@@
#+MACRO:  fe @@html: </div>@@

And then I manually wrap my bullet lists in these fragmenting divs:

{{{fb(1)}}}
   - Point A
#+begin_src 
Code for point A
#+end_src
{{{fe}}}
{{{fb(2)}}}
   - Point B
#+begin_src 
Code for point B
#+end_src
{{{fe}}}
{{{fb(3)}}}
   - Point C
#+begin_src bash
Code for point C
#+end_src
{{{fe}}}

This works rather predictably and does not depend on any indentations being correct.
