Usage
The slideshow plugin uses two macros: slideshow and slide. A simple slideshow would look like this:
{slideshow:Bananas|subtitle=My Favourite Fruit}
{slide:Fruit Is Good}
* Bananas are fruit
* Fruit is healthy
* Therefore, bananas are healthy
{slide}
{slideshow}
Each slide macro you insert will create a new slide in your slideshow. The slideshow can take title and subtitle parameters. The slide macro can take a title parameter/

This takes advantage of the versioning and sharing capabilities of Confluence to make creating and maintaining slide shows productive. Confluence content can be easy included in the flow of the slide show. Slide re-use is simple. Viewers can quickly review the content in full screen or inline mode with no additional software. Parameters can be provided and they will be used to replace parameters in the body prior to rendering.

Nice job!! A couple of things that would be nice to have: color, better handling of things like italics, perhaps scrollbars on long slides, I guess there's a whole world of wants out there. I thought it was a particularly nice touch that you can click anywhere on the slide to go to the next screen. (Right mouse click might as well move you back, eh?) It's a bit awkward to get back to the editor. On the other hand, having the show in one Firefox window and the editing in the other, is very powerful.
I think the reason why I might prefer this to PowerPoint (in addition to being able to run it off the Internet from any machine) is that editing of the pages is done on a single page. Makes the overall context clearer (at least to me).
Cheers,

Wouldn't it be possible to evolve it until a "stable"version quickly?
Also: how much work would it take to create a tool that would export a single Powerpoint slide into a Confluence page? That would complete nicely this slideshow tool.

Due to our commitments with other bug fixtures and new implementations we can't straight away foretell the schedule for this request. Please see this on how we schedule new feature requests. For exporting Powerpoint slide please add your concern and vote for the features request, CONF-7122. Thank you.
Regards,

How can I reduce the indent on bullet lists? It indents double by default, resulting in a serious lack of text space compared to PPT on the same size screen...?
Exceptional plugin. I'd like to vote for the issue you have in the Atlassian Developer Network JIRA (but I'm not allowed to login) that is to export to PDF - being able to hit a button and export the slide show deck to PDF - one page per slide, as it would appear on the screen - would be a HUGE feature. HUGE.
Anyhow.. any input on how I can reduce the bullet indent is appreciated.

If you know CSS, you can modify the css files in the jar file under resources. If you come up with a good modification, it can be included in a theme or the default can be changed. Unfortunately, I will not have much time for modification for this plugin for a number of weeks, so you are on your own for a while.
