[css] QuaD-Pres - a perl tool to aid generating an HTML presentation

[Shlomi F. <sh...@te...>]

I wrote Quad-Pres, which is a perl tool to help generate HTML
presentations.

The URL for it is this:

http://vipe.technion.ac.il/~shlomif/quadpres/

So far the only documentation is the source code and the examples, but I
can probably write something up because it still has a rather limited
functionality.

I used CSS for the lectures (and was criticized for it at least two
times), but it beats having to change the HTML in a zillion places at
once. Quad-Pres can link all the pages of the presentation (which form a
URL tree) into one .css stylesheet. Theoretically it can also include a
<style> ... </style> stylesheet inside them, but I prefered the <link ...
> scheme.

Quad-Pres lectures can be rendered into a web-server, into the hard-disk,
or can be dynamically servd by a special CGI script. The latter can at the
moment be confused if a slash was added or removed to the end of the URL.
I also lost interest in this method a little, because it was too slow on
my machine with X, apache and Konq or Mozilla running. Well, maybe with
the upgrade to 320 MB of RAM it would be fine.

Enjoy, for what it is worth!

A more experienced programmer does not make less bugs. He just realizes
what went wrong more quickly.
