Yes, I seem to remember that part of my problem was different styles had different appearances on different slides, which is bizarre, because the entire purpose of styles is to keep appearances consistent throughout the whole document. > >And in those cases where my slide design needs are particularly >simple, I run to Rstudio and Slidy to create a quick and dirty (and >well behaved) slide presentation. I'll check out Rstudio and Slidy. Thanks! [snip] > Sometimes it’s LyX, sometimes it’s LibreOffice and sometimes >it’s RMarkdown. Speaking of Markdown (in general), in theory I have a process stack that can add custom styles to Markdown (or Asciidoc if the programs are written differently). This brings the real possibility of writing fairly simple books in Markdown, which would be fast as a bat out of hell. If there's a markdown to slide conversion, my stack could also be used to create slides with styles. In theory, I think Beamer is best for slides, but sometimes Beamer can get difficult.
