I use S5 - it is an HTML/JS presentation tool.
http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/  It uses HTML, javascript and CSS.  Full
screen, non-JS, 1 page or 1-page per slide views are possible.

The first setup took me a little modification to get a logo and other setup
stuff working. I'm fluent in textile, so I wrote a Textile markdown
pre-processor (perl) to create a "standard presentation" with very simple
inputs. Here's a textile input example slide:
----------
<div class="slide">

h1. Back-In-Time Checklist

* Automatic & Easy? *Yes*
* Fast - incremental+? *Yes* snapshots feel instantaneous
* Efficient - compressed? *Maybe* hardlinks, no compression
* Secure / encrypted? *Perhaps* cryptfs, truecrypt, sream thru gpg/openssl
* Versioned / not simple mirror? *Yes*
* Stored Remotely? *Maybe* NFS
* Restoration Verified? *Yes*

+ individual file backups are not incremental.
</div>

Hit me up off list of you'd like any more specifics.  My perl code is extremely
specific to my needs, but you are welcome to it.
