wiki2beamer: create presentation slides from Wiki syntax
wiki2beamer
collaborative slide editing made easy
wiki2beamer converts a simple wiki-like syntax to complex LaTeX beamer code. It's written in python and should run on windows and all *nix platforms. Why collaborative? Because you can use it with version control systems. Afraid to loose some LaTeX powers? Don't worry: you can always fall back to plain LaTeX as wiki2beamer is just a preprocessor.
- You can use Beamer both with pdflatex and latex+dvips.
- The standard commands of LaTeX still work. A \tableofcontents will still create a table of contents, \section is still used to create structure, and itemize still creates a list.
- You can easily create overlays and dynamic effects.
- Themes allow you to change the appearance of your presentation to suit you purposes.
- The themes are designed to be usable in practice, they are not just for show. You will not find such nonsense as a green body text on a picture of a green meadow.
- The layout, the colors, and the fonts used in a presentation can easily be changed globally, but you still also have control over the most minute detail.
- A special style file allows you to use the LaTeX source of a presentation directly in other LaTeX classes like article or book. This makes it easy to create presentations out of lecture notes or lecture notes out of presentations.
- The final output is typically a PDF file. Viewer applications for this format exist for virtually every platform. When bringing your presentation to a conference on a memory stick, you do not have to worry about which version of the presentation program might be installed there. Also, your presentation is going to look exactly the way it looked on your computer.
