Allow scrolling

[lucasrodwell]

I often want to interactively add to presentations with my audience, which means that I cannot be sure not to overflow on a slide, and need to be able to scroll. Sometimes I have longer texts that I don't want to split up either, such as embeds, where it would be very helpful to be able to scroll.

I have tried solving this with css snippets, but this solution doesn't work, as with advanced slides there is a problem with long texts being clipped above the presentation grid when using overflow-y. I think this is the reason.

I have tried to adapt the css to no avail. If it is not possible for a css snippet solution, a toggle to allow scrolling would be of great help to me.

I added this at the end of scrollable.css:

.present > div,
.past > div,
.future > div
{
    display: block !important;
}

It works, at the very least.

Ah, also you might want to remove

    overflow: auto !important;

from scrollable.css, that makes it scrollable horizontally which shouldn't be

Is your scrollable.css from here?

Ah yes it is correct. Sorry about that, I forgot to mention it.

Unfortunately, I can't get it to work... To double-check, the whole snippet is the following ???

.reveal:not(.overview) .slides {
    overflow-x: hidden !important;
    overflow-y: auto !important;
    pointer-events: auto !important;
}

.reveal:not(.overview) .slides::-webkit-scrollbar {
    display: none;
}

.reveal:not(.overview) .slides .past, .reveal:not(.overview) .slides .future {
    height: 0;
}

.present > div,
.past > div,
.future > div
{
    display: block !important;
}

Yes that should be correct.
I tried yours and it works.
Have you added the css property in the md?

Thanks, I needed the full path for it to work:

---
css:
  - .obsidian/snippets/scrollable.css
