I use a modified version of your slides macros for some time now and
am very pleased with them. I generate PS and display with gv. I still
haven't managed to cut the PDF pages in length (haven't tried much).

Some sources from me are available at:

You are probably at the same point.

I can't help here because I don't generate HTML from it.

btw: Do you include bitmap pictures into your slides? If so, how? I
read that Heirloom troff has some features therefore, but I think they
are Heirloom extensions.
