It's not WYSIWYG, it's strangely structured, its basic styles suck, but=20=

it's quick to use: write your presentation with your favourite text=20
editor, execute pp2html (with so many options you put the command in a=20=

shell script) and you have the resulting HTML files.

What PerlPoint really miss is a passthrough mode or a way to allow=20
plugins or modules or whatever to directly generate the HTML (or=20
anything else).
