[Vimoutliner] Tools to convert vol file to presentation?

[Matthew Weier O'Phinney]

Greetings!

I'm a programmer, and I use vim for everything -- code, outlines, email,
contact management, etc. I use vimoutliner for a ton of what I do, from
outlining program logic to TODO lists to changelogs to... you get the
idea.

One thing I've been doing more and more often is giving tutorials and
speaking at conferences. I have discovered I loathe PowerPoint and
ooImpress because they simply don't make it easy to create my materials
-- I spend more time applying styles, positioning elements, etc. than I
do actually creating the content. Typically I end up doing cut-and-paste
from vimoutliner to one of these programs, but the process is tedious.

I've tried using S5 (http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/), and like it
fairly well -- HTML is easy for me to understand and write, and it's
relatively easy for me to convert a vimoutliner file into a set of
slides. However, I've found that there's a threshold of slides after
which S5 becomes incredibly sluggish; if I add in anything like JS code
syntax highlighting, its unbearable.

What would probably be ideal for me is if I could script converting my
vimoutliner files to ooImpress; at least that would eliminate the
cut-and-paste, though it wouldn't solve all issues.

Has anyone else tried to convert vimoutliner files to a presentation
format? what have you tried? what worked?
