[OKFN - Austria] Antw: Re: Slide Show (S9) v3.0 - Write Talks / Presentations in Text w / Markdown - Many Themes (S5, S6, deck.js, impress.js, etc.)

[Johann Höchtl]

I tried reveal.js (also supports markdown) and was quite impressed by the relative ease of creating a presentation, the portability (doesn't require a web server) and visual aesthetic.

Best, Johann
