Re: [Orgmode] org-mode and htmlslidy

Does beamer and impressive support scrolling? I assume not as beamer is LaTeX based which also uses fixed paper size. The paradigm of fixed size slides is imho a remnant from a time when slides were "hardware" and placed on a overhead projector. I see no reason why shouldn't be able to scroll a long slide during a presentation if you can't fit it all on a single screen full.

In looking for the perfect slide show generation from org-mode I have so far checked the following and found that they have serious problems:

• epresenter - Keyboard gets stuck, little control over display.
• org-s5 - No support for pages overflowing, e.g. when showing a long slides I would like to scroll

What about beamer? To date I haven't found anything I like as much! It just seems to do about everything... even if that means hunting down the occasional obscure code to force it to do my will!

You can combine it with impressive! and do some fantastic things during presentations: http://impressive.sourceforge.net/
