For example: A slideshow format needs sort of a linear argumentation like this: (1)-->(2)-->(3)-->(4)--> ... HTML permits multiple lines of argumentation and crossreferences like this _->(2a)-->(3a)-->(4a)--> ... / (1)--->(2b)-->(3b)-->(4b)--> ... \ / --->(3c)-- A slideshow is a one-way communication from you to your readers, HTML as for example used in a wiki allows interaction with your readers (comments, own contributions,...) Thus it might not at all be possible to convert HTML to a slide show. You will have to decide which kind of medium fits your content best. > > tHat said: how can I experiement with translating my html into > slideshow format?
