Bruce, very briefly: I'm very very short on time this week, so won't be able to look into this until middle of next week, but I just wanted to let you know that I find your idea great. I had been thinking of adding an xml template for simple presentations. your html-based stuff looks gorgeous, so I would like to know more about it. And let us know what exactly it is that you're missing in simple-slides. In theory, titles are typeset in layers, so everything should be there.

I've been gravitating to a presentation system where I author presentations in markdown, and then convert them to an HTML-based system that results in examples like this:

This allows me to focus on content, but very quickly create high-quality slides.
So I have a kind of default representation of a slide, but I also have a couple of CSS classes that I attach (via XSLT) to individual slides depending on the content. For example, if I have a title without any other text content, then I attach a "title" class to the slide, which renders the title larger, and vertical-centered on the page. If there's a single image, I attach a "imgbig" class, which floats the image to the background, and enlarges it to fill the slide.
I would like to be able to do the same with PDF using ConTeXt, ideally using simple-slides. I know some styles have similar parameter options for things like image placement, but I'm not seeing anything equivalent for titles. Is this possible to add?
