Hello all! I am actually a student that used to work on this stuff. In our research group, we were mainly interested in transforming the arXiv ( www.arxiv.org) to XHTML + MathML via LaTeXML ( http://dlmf.nist.gov/LaTeXML/ ) so that it can be displayed on the web (build system page: http://arxmliv.kwarc.info -- down now due to maintenance).
What you might be interested in is this paper that we wrote a while back for a workshop (DML 09): http://kwarc.info/kohlhase/submit/dml09.pdf that tackles exactly this issue, transforming LaTeX to XHTML+MathML. Please let me know on what you think or if you have any more questions, Catalin On Sat, Jul 3, 2010 at 7:17 PM, Uriel <ur...@berlinblue.org> wrote: > On Tue, Jun 29, 2010 at 5:04 PM, Kris Maglione <maglion...@gmail.com> wrote: >> On Tue, Jun 29, 2010 at 12:34:52PM +0200, Uriel wrote: >>> >>> I'm looking for a minimally sane way to generate presentation slides, >>> ideally using something similar to markdown and capable of generating >>> decent-looking html (and hopefully) pdf. >>> >>> I know about magicpoint, and I normally use the troff slides macros: >>> http://repo.cat-v.org/troff-slider/ >>> >>> But the generated HTML is rather messy, and fixing htmlroff is too much >>> work. >> >> Have you tried generating a PDF and using one of the PDF to HTML converters? > > Do you know of any PDF to HTML converter that is not crap?
