Best text-based presentation software?
Until now I’ve been using either HTML or MagicPoint for my presentations, but neither is perfect. I like the simplicity of MagicPoint, but making the fonts nice is difficult and its word splitting and line wrapping can be unpredictable.
After asking a few people, and after discussing it on LWN.net, it seems Latex-beamer is many people’s favourite. I don’t know Latex, so I was hoping to find a replacement which was as simple as MagicPoint, but maybe I should just accept that learning Latex is necessary and probably useful anyway.
Surely many Fellows have faced this decision before, so any comments would be appreciated.
Using a non-text tool such as OpenOffice.org is not an option. No eye-candy feature is more important than being able to do my work in Emacs 🙂
