Creating Presentations in Emacs (from text files)

[Will Willis]

I'm attempting to put together a series of presentations for my co-workers. I'm looking for a way to generate a powerpoint-like slide deck from a text file. Something akin to org-mode style or even Muse as the input, and something like HTML slides or even a PDF as the output.

I've got about 15 minutes of Muse experience under my belt. It might be what I'm looking for, but I'm not sure how to generate landscape PDF files, or even how to delineate in muse-mode where page breaks should be.

Another stumbling block I'm having is even getting muse to output pdf format (I'm on Windows). HTML output worked just fine, but I"m looking for something similar to S5, http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/

Any muse help, or other presentation mode suggestions would be appreciated.

TIA,

Will Willis
