Discussion on: How do you include code examples in talks? (e.g slides) How can you add syntax highlighting?

I usually do code examples in separate editor, e.g. IntelliJ IDEA supports presentation mode, where the editor window is maximized and has large font.

This is also more interactive and immersive, you can change the code snippet or directly run it.

If I want to show some code in the slides, I usually do a screenshot from editor :). It's definitely easier than pasting and formatting the code in presentation software.

Yeah I was thinking of screenshots too but didn't know if there were any caveats. Thank you!
