A quick look at a style of marking up plaintext called "ReStructuredText" with hotkeys from the Emacs text editor to view the result as HTML, PDF and slides.
ReStructuredText was developed in the Python community and is used for whitepapers, embedded markup for program source and wiki pages, and to rapidly create slide presentations.

Nice show for a beginner, but not enough detail (not even hints) for those want to learn more. For example, the video only show reST can do html and S5, but does not even give a link to find out how.
Still, nice work. Thanks anyway!
Interesting! I also noticed that you used Emacs (if I'm not mistaken) and this gave me an idea for a video. Could you maybe do a series of Emacs video-tutorials for complete beginners? There is no material of this kind on Showmedo and I believe it would be a great contribution to Emacs newcomers.
In any case, thank you
Thanks Jeff this was very interesting!
Thanks - I didn't know about the S5 zoom features
Very good, will have to take a deeper look at that.
very intuitive liked it alot
Thanks so much for this presentation it was what got me over to use reST to write my stuff, and abandon the bloated word processors for something lighter :)
Very handy and informative introduction. Thanks!
Congratulations, very good explanation ... Thank you
this looks very useful- I'm very excited
Very useful and thanks for the information.
yes, i liked it....I spend some time in the evenings
learning and I am thinking of joining showmedo..
great video! thx
Thanks, very instructive... as always.
Hi Jeff!
Just a quick thanks for your vid on ReStructedText - I have an interview tomorrow and this was one of the clients "nice to have" hopefully now I'll be able to show I have at least the basics. Wish me luck!
thanks
wow, i discovered restructured text lately and needed this video.
thanks
Great! Very useful!!
Great to view. Good to understand.
i've learned something. go on!
Nice demo of ReStructuredText - ideal for me fishing around for a better way to write my technical documents and wondering if this is it - you've given me a good feel for what I can expect. Suitably inspired I'll now give it a go...
This is quite informative, as I have been looking to write restructuredtext using emacs. Can you elaborate abit more about using emacs and the hot keys to render the text into HTML or PDF or slides?
Thanks you
Very good -- Well thought out and presented -- Perfect amount of detail.
Hi Jeff,
Great screencast on RST! Thanks for making it!

Jeff - Thanks for your screencast on reStructuredText. - John Graves / Auckland, New Zealand
Never new about this form of document compilation. Very nice and simple to learn.
Very good summary of restructured text which is what I was looking for. Very good presentation of the material etc.
Thanks a lot again. Really well done video. Are you a teacher? I mean in the "usual way" (because you're teaching a lot here already!).
Cheers,
Offray
Thank you !
Slide show made easy...
Just have to install the emacs mode.
Very effective video, thank you
Excellent video - this is going to be very useful!
