It's basically XHTML with CSS. If you know how to create webpages you also know how to create a presentation. Add in some spice like jQuery for transitions if you want and you've just got the best cross-platform FLOSS geek presentation tool. Oh and putting stuff online is a breeze as you've already created the html :) Btw there are already some other people enhancing Eric's version[2]. ps: printing is a matter of making sure to add the right css file. 1: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/ 2: http://s5project.org/ Nathan, I’d recommend to use S5 by Eric Meyer1.

Very easy to write with LaTeX, plus it produces beautiful presentations with basically no worrying about the design. Maybe not exactly for every situation, but I find it highly useful.
