Yep.  HTML.  ;^)

Seriously, I have prepared presentations using HTML rather than
PowerPoint. It's not that difficult if you know HTML and/or have access to
good web authoring software. HTML presentations convert for different
browsers re-e-e-e-al nice!  See "Web-Based Slide Presentations" by Melissa
L. Just at

http://www.library.ucsb.edu/universe/just.html

for a lot of good reasons for doing this.  If you know ahead of time that
you will eventually be converting a slide presentation to HTML, you can do
just as effective a presentation using HTML, and your conversion will be a
LOT cleaner.  For starters, you'll only have one file for each slide,
instead of three!
