While technically true, it isn't going to be easy to produce a general presentation for that code. There are a number of hardcoded x/y cords and specialized css classes ("have you noticed it's in") What I'd love to see is a way for me to write relatively vanilla HTML, possibly run it through a parser (in a perfect world, I would just annotate it with css classes) and out comes a sexy presentation. Or maybe a wysiwyg UI, like how Prezi's interface works.

I would pay for this tool to take in something like MultiMarkdown and spit out a presentation. It could work with some custom markdown tags like First sl[[i](transition=leftrotate target=second slide)]de Personally, I dont have a presentation which I cant express through markdown.

Probably it's not stated clear enough (it's a very early release and I wasn't expecting such a buzz around it) that impress.js is meant to be responsible only of positioning the step elements (based on data attributes) and animating between them. Anything that is on a step is custom HTML and CSS and author is expected to write it. Stylesheet given is not meant to be a part of a library - it's just a demo. I know that it narrows the target users to people knowing HTML and CSS (on a quite good level) but it's just an experiment and a tool I use. If anyone finds it nice and helpful that's great. If not - it's not my fault. But for sure some detailed docs for impress.js are needed and I hope to write them soon.

Hey, I just hacked a proof of concept of a gui position&rotation&scale editor. You can take a look here: http://naugtur.github.com/ http://naugtur.github.com/
