Documents, Presentations and “Profiling”

I posted the following question on the DocBook-apps list:

I wonder if anyone has experimented with coding documents in such a way that slide presentations can be extracted from them? In other words, my (academic) documents are almost all of the basic structure:

intro literature case study conclusion

There might be a second-order sectioning within that as well, but that itself can only form the skeleton of a presentation. Any suggestions on how to code a document such that it can be virtually completely built directly from the document (as opposed to a separate “slides” file or whatever)? Maybe have “invisible” sections” somehow? In response, Thomas Gier pointed me to “profiling.”

This seems to be what I’m looking for. Not surprisingly, the attributes used to tag content are specific to computer documentation, so I may need to use a customization layer to handle this for my work.

Anyone out there have an xslt file to generate Keynote presentations?
