Our software defines some auxiliary rules which affect how the HTML is interpreted. In particular:

  1. A document must have a TITLE markup. This is used as the "footer" at the bottom of each slide.
  2. The title is followd by zero or more "slides", which are delineated by a H1 markup at the start, and a HR markup at the end. The H1 text becomes the individual slide title, and the HR defines "end of slide".
  3. Within a "slide" (that is, between the H1 and HR), most normal HTML markup is permitted, although some is ignored, and some doesn't work yet.
  4. The current default is 36 pt Helvetica-Bold for the slide title, and 18 pt for the body. The various forms of emphasised text are all rendered as Bold-Italic.
  5. The user can specify a PostScript file on the command line, which is included in every slide. This might be used, for example, to include a snappy graphic on each transparency. You can see my effort at this in the current presentation.
