I wouldn't bother with Quenting Rameau's idea of converting the slides
into images, some reasons against it:
- How do you decide which resolution the images should be rendered?
(too small to read? too blurry in fullscreen? too big?)
- How do you copy text from it?
- Does every image reader support reading images inorder?
It's true that the web sucks, however I'd consider presenting text and
some images totally OK for use on the web platform:
+ You're publishing this; it's a good idea if a lot of people can view
the content.
+ The text can be copied
- We're dealing with web browsers; there will be issues.
Ofcourse you could just release the .txt file however I can see some
non-technical people prefer to have the slides as you presented them,
the web platform will fit well for this.
If I publish a sent presentation it will be in the original .txt and web
format.
Alternatively I've seen LaTeX Beamer presentations released in a "paper"
format where the slides are reformatted so they fit into the paper like
regular text and only some small "ticks" which works as indicators of
where slide bounderies are[0].
Another thing to think about; what about printing the slides?
Maybe Takahashi method slides don't fit well on paper slides?
Note; that I'm merely presenting my opinions/ideas, there may be issues
with them.
