This is just a random idea; take it FWIW:

In looking at the example index.html file, I really like that one can just layout the content in sequence. But one notable limitation seems to be the requirement (?) to specify placement.

Would it not be possible to have the content laid out on the page automatically, using javascript, perhaps with configurable layout algorithms?

So, for sake of argument, perhaps one algorithm might say:

* the first "slide" gets centered on the page in somewhat larger or otherwise more prominent fonts
* other slides get organized around that center, and rendering can be tweaked with class attributes

On the second point, more structure to the actual source file (say using nested sections) could make this even more powerful. E.g. maybe sections get grouped first, and then subsections organized in relation to those groups.
