I tried that, and I tried khtml2png. Both work. khtml2png was more work to set up ( I had to download a lot of kde development dependencies), but the behavior is a little cleaner. It produces pngs directly, and they can be scaled from the command line. I will still have to fiddle with it for local html and style sheets, but I think I can make it work as part of an automated pipeline, starting with Eric Wilhelm's Text::Slidez and ending up with my makeshow script. Someday, whole slide shows at the touch of a button, no GUI need apply! And if we don't have a speaker for Advanced Topics in July, perhaps we can talk about making presentations with these tools. Which means all of you will be eager to try the tools and make your own presentations for Advanced Topics! Relief for Alan at last!
