Dear All,
By the end of the month I have to do a presentation, and while I am oposed
to slides (they reveal in advance what you are going to say), this
occasion requires that I provide them.
Since I'm not a GUI person - I get lost in GUIs and that gets on my
nerves - I was looking into ways of creating them with vim/insert your
favorite text editor. I don't know TeX so I had to find something else.
I was told that it was possible with DocBook XML and a slides DTD, but
there is very few documentation about this. The CVS files didn't compile
and there is no direct link to the pre-compiled slides package. It was
also not very clear how the XML should be converted and how it can be
customized.
So if you are interested, I'll write a short documentation about this,
detailing a.o. the following subjects:
- Where to get the slides DTD
- Check your machine for other required packages
- Compose XML source for your presentation
- Slides-specific tags
- Creating a slides-template
- Using xsltproc and fop to convert to HTML and PDF
- Slides customization
Please let me know what you think,
Tille.
