Uriel, have you looked at halibut? http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/ I use it for a couple of projects, though I have a shell script to adjust the html to my own needs. The markdown is tolerably easy to learn, the license is liberal, and it is (meant to be) fairly portable C. I don't like it exactly, but it's the least obnoxious thing I've found for generating multiple forms of documentation. But, having rarely seen presentation slides with ( SNR > 0 ), I don't entirely understand what you are looking for. --Noah
