Suggestion: make slides viewable online

Created by: pgonzalezalv

Hi,

I have small suggestion for the course repo. For the moment the slides cannot be seen online when on GitHub (you see the raw file, as if viewing the source code, but it is not rendered in the browser). For instance :

• https://github.com/ploum/lingi2401/blob/master/1.%20introduction%20and%20history.html
• if you click on raw in the above link : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ploum/lingi2401/master/1.%20introduction%20and%20history.html

On way is to copy the repo and view them locally in your browser.

Another way to bypass that, is to use the built-in GitHub Pages.

Could you activate the GitHub Pages for the repo?

To do that :

• go to the Repo Settings;
• scroll down to GitHub Pages;
• choose master branch and save.

Basically, GitHub will search for an index.html file on the repo to build the website (see GitHub Help for more details). Once the GitHub Page is active, the course link should be : http://ploum.github.io/lingi2401

As a proof of concept, I activated the Github Pages on my fork. To see the results:

http://pgonzalezalv.github.io/lingi2401

To make it work, I added a basic index.html file. See commit for more details.
