I found s5 and slidy a bit more boring compared to landslide with the exception slidy supports introducing slide elements one by one where landslide shows everything at once.<br /><br />Its certainly not a silver bullet and I would&#39;t use this for business presentations. I will use for geek presentations and perhaps for team brainstorming sessions.Budhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16681603430019235684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947964.post-41637381704966203582011-09-04T09:51:50.020+05:302011-09-04T09:51:50.020+05:30Markdown is surely nice. I too prefer it on many cases because I can then use Vim + Git combination easily.<br /><br /><br />Also have a look at <a href="http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/" rel="nofollow">Pandoc</a>. Their native format is a Markdown flavor and they can produce output in a load of formats including PDF, RTF, DocBook and LaTeX among others.<br /><br />Pandoc isn&#39;t aimed for presentations though. I usually use Beamer (LaTeX) or simply stick with something like Impress where PDF export is easy.Gaveen Prabhasarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708879688644127067noreply@blogger.com
