Hey Jody

S5 is a slide show format based on XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript [0].
It integrates very well with reST as a command line utility for
converting reST to S5 is provided within docutils, give a look at this [1]
link.
Even if you don't want to use S5, you can still use reST and convert
the slides to pdf, via the rst2pdf [2] (included in docutils too). I
had very good results with it.
BTW: It would be very nice to have an OSGeo template for reST, if you
have one it would be nice if you could share ;)
