Good idea.
Although I have used it in the above examples, I am not sure that I like
the idea of using top-level itemize items to announce a new slide. It
seems to me that it makes a special case of those list items that would
be confusing, and not at all flexible. It would also not reflect the way
that slides are rendered by the beamerarticle package: where they appear
to resemble unnumbered subsubsections. Also, what would a slide with no
title look like?
A slide with no title could look like:
- ~
(in LaTeX ~ is a space)
One idea I had is to use something like @ characters as markup for slide
headings. In beamer, section headings and slide titles and subtitles
are sort of orthogonal to each other, so one couldn't simply use the
usual * markup. Something like this:
* Basics
<slide>
@ First Slide
@@ First Slide Subheading
Most of the people I know do not use subheadings, but instead they
write titles of this sort "Title: subtitle". So maybe a nice muse
extension could be to interpret "::" in a title as a subheading.
The trickiest one to my mind is the new column markup, since one would
have to allow for tables in slides.
Note that Beamer allows for columns in slides. Here is the syntax:
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Slide with columns}
\begin{columns}[t]
\begin{column}{2in}
\begin{itemize}
\item First bullet
\item Second bullet
\end{itemize}
\end{column}
\begin{column}{2in}
\begin{itemize}
\item Third bullet (in second column)
\end{itemize}
\end{column}
\end{columns}
\end{frame}
Best,
Felipe
