PyCon rst2odp offer

2009.09.23 Wed 10:22 A GMT-07
If anyone is considering using rst2s5, please give rst2odp a try. If your slides work on rst2s5 but not on rst2odp, let me know and I'll try to address that. I've been using it for a while now, but I got some feedback that others have had issues, s

rst2odp - "I'm not dead yet"

2009.08.12 Wed 11:07 A GMT-07
