Generating Slidy output would be a high priority feature for me.  A user just 
specifies:

txt2tags.py -t xhtml --slides slideShow.t2t

Thanks for txt2tags!  I'm using it regularly (for other things).

Have you tried using the slidy template (in the current development version) 
I've made? (I've also just updated it)
http://code.google.com/p/txt2tags/source/browse/trunk#trunk/templates

You can see a working example there:
http://anamnese.online.fr/site2/textallion/samples/examples_slide.html
(if you don't see the incremental display for the first slide, it's because 
there is no "cover" page, you can force to see it by using the back key (left 
arrow) or by clicking on the content option and click on the first slide)

Steven sent me a patch to add the Slidy target, I've attached it to this issue. 
Now we've got a patch and a template for Slidy, we should decide what to do.

I'll paste here Steve's message. Steve, you can post here any further comment, 
ok?

From Steve:

I'm not sure that what I've done is the best way to go about this...
As you'll see, the document header generates the first slide minus the
closing div tag.  Then each slide must begin with a level 1 title,
which inserts a "handout" div and closes the previous slide div, then
opens a div for the current slide and inserts the title in h1 tags.
The the EOD closes the final div and the entire document.

It would probably be better to use a block title - but I couldn't
figure out how to make that work.

Also, each slide has a comment associated with it the I'd like to have
the slide number automatically generated in (so a numbered title would
make sense).  But numbered elements are usually handled by the browser
(<ol><li>...).  This numbering would have to be handled inside of
txt2tags - and I could not see how to do that either...

To generate a Slidy show:

======= Start of slideShow.t2t ========
Line 1: Title
Line 2: Author
Line 3: Subtitle

= Slide 2 =
- Contents of slide 2

= Slide 3 =
...
======= End of slideShow.t2t =======

% txt2tags.py -t xhtml --slides slideShow.t2t

I hope that this is helpful.  It's not perfect, but I hope it might
serve as a starting point for generating Slidy presentations.
