I use RST for a whole bunch of things but I've not done any presentation/slide
stuff since the old S5 days. Is S5 still the recommended way to do this or
are there better choices these days?

TIA.

I haven't used S5 in a long time, but AFAIk it should still work.

I use landslide, though it's a little quirky in places:

Hi,

there are a couple of things I have experimented with.

There is rst2beamer, which is docutils based but somewhat
unmaintained:

https://github.com/rst2beamer

I do have my own fork on github and use a custom template, but wouldn't
recommend it actually.

There is also the possibility tp use rst2pdf, which is reportlab based,
I believe:

http://ralsina.me/stories/BBS52.html

And lastly -- this is my favorite option right now -- you can use pandoc
to make beamer slides from RST:

http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/demo/example9/producing-slide-shows-with-pandoc.html

That seems the most powerful option.

best and hope it helps,

I'm using `rst2outline` to generate something which can be imported
into Powerpoint then (because I'm forced to use Powerpoint :-( ).

It's in the sandbox.
