Here's a sketch of an implementation using <slide> tags, and an example
muse file.
Attachment: muse-slides.el
Description: application/emacs-lisp
...
<slide title="Slide Title">
- Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
- Cras hendrerit, metus quis porta tempus, velit turpis semper leo,
vitae porttitor felis augue ut risus.
- Maecenas a risus id sem ullamcorper suscipit.
- Nam aliquet. Donec diam turpis, blandit id, gravida quis,
consequat id, mi. Sed condimentum gravida urna. Proin eu arcu.
Phasellus viverra pharetra leo.
- Curabitur lacinia, nulla id elementum tempus, libero justo tristique
mauris, quis sollicitudin elit erat non eros.
</slide>

Very impressive you built this so fast.
IMHO, the <slide> tag is not ideal. What happens is that while you are
drafting a presentation many times you don't know if something is
going to be a bullet, a slide, or even a section, so it is very useful
to have a lean wiki notation to make changes swiftly. On the other
hand, a <note> tag is useful. First, not everybody uses notes, and
second, once something starts as a note it will probably stay there.
Some of the programming difficulties I see are things which (I
believe) are not easy to accommodate with the current muse
architecture. I see the following constructs more or less problematic:
- The || to start a new column
- All the special includes for eps, latex+eps, verbatims, and what I
call 'chunks' (complex structures like tables that can be put at the
end of the file, so that they do not bother with the presentation
outline).
- The ! to animate
- The # for numbering (note manual numbering: 1. 2. 3. ... is not
ideal as the user has to change numbers when reshuffling a list)
For a clearer specification of the semantics of these constructs
please see the .txt file attached in my previous posting and compare
it to the .pdf.
If you believe this is doable, fabulous. Also, if you would like my
help on the project (I can help with design issues, testing, and
latex/beamer hacks), please write me an email.
Best regards,
Felipe
