I recently found out about slideml[1], but the two things which I didn't really like about it were it being written in perl and producing XHTML instead of just regular HTML. I began working on my own tool, hsg (HTML Slidy Generator), which is slideml rewritten in ksh. There are currently several bugs with the HTML output and I haven't had much motivation to fix them just yet as I don't begin school again until fall, but others are welcome to take a look and provide fixes. hg clone http://bitbucket.org/jrick/hsg No PDF output, unfortunately.
