Yes, this is a big advantage. It makes a slidy.html much more powerpoint
like. You can pass it around.

Okay.

Unfortunately, this runs counter to my main use case. I want to plug
into existing documents. The reason for this is that I am using
asciidoc's multiple output. The idea is that I can generate printed
handouts (through docbook and pdf), as well as a non-slidy HTML
versions, which is easier to read. Asciidoc is good for this, because I
have conditionals; the versions are similar, but not identical. 

I can send you a sample if you want to see what I mean; I don't want
them public and googlable for the next week or so, otherwise, they would
be public!

Okay, that is useful, although it still has the problem that *any*
markup will be incremental. So

** First item
** Second _item_
** Third item

will produce 4 increments.

In my hands, the source highlighting didn't work. The problem is that
the source code filter has stuff like this....

ifdef::backend-xhtml11[]
ifndef::pygments[source-style=template="source-highlight-block",presubs=(),postsubs=("callouts",),posattrs=("style","language","src_numbered","src_tab"),filter="source-highlight
-f xhtml -s {language} {src_numbered?--line-number}
{src_tab?--tab={src_tab}}"]
ifdef::pygments[source-style=template="source-highlight-block",presubs=(),postsubs=("callouts",),posattrs=("style","language","src_numbered"),filter="pygmentize
-f html -l {language} {src_numbered?-O linenos=table}"]
endif::backend-xhtml11[]

which fails because the backend is now slidy. I had the same problem
with source highlighting in wordpress.conf, if I remember. My code is
just a cut-and-paste job from the source-code conf file. 

Ugly, but quick. I should have refactored source-code.conf, but when I
started slidy.conf it was outside of asciidoc clone, so it was the
easiest solution.
