Description: Hovercraft!
        ===========
        
        *The merging of convenience and cool!*
        
        Hovercraft! is a tool to make impress.js_ presentations from
        reStructuredText. Documentation is currently sparse, but available in the
        documentation subdirectory.
        
        Why?
        ----
        
        As a programmer, I like making my presentations in some sort of text-markup.
        GUI tools feel restricted and limited when it comes to creating the
        presentation, simply writing it in text makes it easier to move things around
        as you like.
        
        But the tools that exist to make presentations from text-markup will make
        slideshows that has a sequence of slides from left to right. That was fine
        until Prezi arrived, with zooms and slides and twists and turns.
        
        But Prezi is a GUI toool. And it's closed source. But the open source
        community fixed that problem with impress.js.
        
        But impress.js is an HTML tools. Sitting and writing HTML is an annoying
        pain. It's not a very smooth tool compared reStructuredText or markdown.
        It's especially annoying since you have to sit and add x/y/zoom/rotation
        for each slide, and if you insert a new slide in the middle, you have to
        change everything around.
        
        There are GUI tools to layout impress.js presentations but they are all in
        alpha-state, and doesn't work very well. They also do not support having
        presenter notes via impress-console_, a feature I of course need. After all,
        that's why I wrote it.
        
        So, I wanted to make impress.js presentations from reStructuredText. That
        turned out to be easy, I make landslide-impress_, a template for Landslide
        that create an impress.js presentation. But I ran into a limitation of
        Landslide. There was no way to get the position information out from the
        reStructuredText to impress.js. As such, with Landslide all I could do with
        impress.js was slides that boringly went from left to right, completely
        losing the whole point of impress.js.
        
        So, I have to make something myself. Hence: Hovercraft!
