I wouldn't bother with Quenting Rameau's idea of converting the slides into images, some reasons against it: - How do you decide which resolution the images should be rendered? (too small to read? too blurry in fullscreen? too big?) - How do you copy text from it? - Does every image reader support reading images inorder? It's true that the web sucks, however I'd consider presenting text and some images totally OK for use on the web platform: + You're publishing this; it's a good idea if a lot of people can view the content. + The text can be copied - We're dealing with web browsers; there will be issues. Ofcourse you could just release the .txt file however I can see some non-technical people prefer to have the slides as you presented them, the web platform will fit well for this. If I publish a sent presentation it will be in the original .txt and web format. Alternatively I've seen LaTeX Beamer presentations released in a "paper" format where the slides are reformatted so they fit into the paper like regular text and only some small "ticks" which works as indicators of where slide bounderies are[0]. Another thing to think about; what about printing the slides? Maybe Takahashi method slides don't fit well on paper slides? Note; that I'm merely presenting my opinions/ideas, there may be issues with them. [0]: http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/beamer/examples/beamerexample-lecture-print-version.pdf
