Hi Luc, so Landslide seems to be a replacement for the S5 writer shipping with Docutils, except that it is more up to date and also supports Markdown input. I wonder what it would take to make Landslide work with Sphinx rather than just Docutils to benefit from the source tree concept and derectives...
Looking from the other angle, I am intrigued by how you prevent Sphinx from displaying a link to the source at the bottom of your nice cycling website. Probably one can also get rid of the search field, the "Next" and "Previous" links etc. This type of knowledge could help tweak the Hieroglyph or Landslide generated slides. The Sphinx tutorial understandably assumes some HTML and CSS knowledge which I'd have to acquire first. Any hint where to start / what Sphinx templates etc. to modify? On rst2pdf: It is great, even though I am not a huge fan of Reportlab, and it does not generate slides...
