Download version 0.4: [DocBook Tar ball] [HTML Tar ball] [Single HTML] [TXT] [PDF]
A port of FastTemplate to Python. Download version 0.1.0
A simple python script to generate HTML slides. When giving a presentation on a software, a full screen presentation can be annoying. You will have to switch between the program and your presentation often. It would be better if the presentation occupies only one-fourth of the screen. Presentation sidebar allows you to do that. You can open the generated HTML slides in a browser and resize your browser window so that it occupies only one-fourth of the screen. Download version 0.1.1
