Other HTML presentation projects

[Thomas K]

Let's have a thread so we know what other projects are out there
working on HTML slides. A couple I've come across:
* Landslide https://github.com/adamzap/landslide - Generates HTML5
slides from markdown/rst documents
* Slimey http://slimey.sourceforge.net/ - A rough attempt at a web-
based presentation editor. Works for basic use, but no updates in over
a year.

And in case anyone's not come across it, Slidy is similar to S5 (i.e.
a javascript tool to display HTML presentations):

Slidey is the one supported by W3C. The new kid on the block is
https://github.com/schacon/showoff/ from Scott Chacon; it's a little
heavier in the sense that it requires interaction with a custom
Sinatra web application to work properly, even though the underlying
slides are still HTML and CSS.

I haven't played with Slidey, so I don't really have an opinion about
it. I've avoided ShowOff just because I think a good slideshow should
be able to be dropped into place on any web server, rather than
requiring its own to work properly, but that doesn't mean it isn't
useful in its own right.

I'll have to checkout landslide and slimeyhttp to see what they're all
about before I form an opinion.

I set up a wiki here:

http://wiki.s5project.org/

I started by adding the list of projects from the "Other HTML
presentation projects" email thread, as well as what was previously
listed on the main site. Please add any relevant information you think
might be useful.

Thanks for setting this up Scott.

I've added to the wiki this script from the larger Docutils project:

=== rst2s5.py ===

http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/slide-shows.html

And this to the list of Other Tools

=== HTML5 Slideshow ===
