While we are on the topic of slide software, please allow me a slight off-topic, as this probably won't work on Plan 9 (although a Common Lisp implementation targeting Plan 9 would be a fun collision of two nice communities).
Here is what I use: https://gitlab.com/edouardklein/packslide/-/blob/master/packslide.lisp It takes a slide description in a very simple S-expression-based domain specific language, and then uses, in a loop: - a satisfaction algorithm to pack the content into the slide - obeying certain rules such as "the title is above everything else" - an optimization algorithm to minimize the amount of unused space by changing the size of the items. The result is then exported to LaTeX+tikz and yields a PDF. If there is any interest in it I'd be happy to answer any questions about it, off list not to distract too much. I just thought the list members are the kind of people who'd enjoy such a thing.
