S5 - http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/ - is an html-based slide-show system. It produces professional-looking slideshows from text with a little xml markup. Has anyone tried using Markdown to generate S5 slide-shows? I think this would be a pretty neat system. I'm thinking a level-1 header could be the slideshow title, and level-2 headers could define individual slides. Any thoughts? - Dan -- "I know nothing, understand less, & most of that is wrong."

You can write your slides as a markdown file with a little added syntax and generate a preview or convert to HTML. If you are not using TextMate or are not on a Mac, you can surely adapt the Ruby script used by TextMate and adapt it to your needs.

Pandoc can generate S5 from Markdown.
