I have been looking but all I can find is the Takahashi-style site in
Japanese (or the link previously on this list to an .it site). I can
also found multiple uses of the engine, but no mention of generators

True, but I have not yet done a single animated slide in my life.
Bullets, code and occasionally pictures slapped on a background are all
I need. If I can start writing my slides in text templates, my personal
satisfaction with not having to ever look at Powerpoint or OO junk would
be great.
