minimalistic markdown to s5 converter (work in progress)

requires

   - Python 2.5
   - or Python 2.2 or later, with ElementTree/cElementTree

to download, do

   svn co http://svn.effbot.python-hosting.com/stuff/sandbox/s5markdown/

to use, do

   python s5maker.py file.txt [theme.zip]

where 'file.txt' is a markdown text file.  conventions:

  - use H1 headers (#) to separate the slides.

  - you can set the page title and the footer content by placing
    $VAR lines in a paragraph at the top of the file:

        $TITLE title text goes here
        $FOOTER1 first footer line goes here (e.g. location/date)
        $FOOTER1 second footer line goes here (e.g. slide show title)

  - you can get incremental display of a list by putting a single
    INCREMENTAL item as the first item

        * INCREMENTAL
        * First item.
        * Second item.

the resulting presentation is saved under 'file.s5/index.html",
together with all required S5 files.
