need different view option for *.html file

[jeanluc]

I am in the process of developing material that to be used for
technical software training. The material would be *.html based.
Ideally, I want web software to create two different options for
presenting the material.

One option would be to present the material in a slide format like
power point. This would be ideal for presenting the material in a
classroom setting to multiple attendees. The material would be in
point form only. The instructor would fill in the details.

The other option would present the material in a detailed, wordy
online format suitable for self paced training. What the instructor
would normally say during the class would be explicitly written out.
This format could even present more information than would be covered
in the class.

Do you know of any software that can do this?

Either there could be a switch while viewing or alternatively, a web
design software is used to generate two *.html files. One would be the
slide version and the other the detailed version.

Thanks!!

A text editor.

There is no software that creates options like this beyond the normal
ways to make webpages that gives the user options. One of the ways to
create a webpage is to open a plain text editor and write up the page in
HTML.

One option would be to present the material in a slide format like
power point. This would be ideal for presenting the material in a
classroom setting to multiple attendees. The material would be in
point form only. The instructor would fill in the details.

This is easy enough. Make this version in PP or in PDF format and offer
it as as an option in the web page. You do this by simply

<a href="pageByPage.pdf">In summary point form</a>

The user of the website, for example, the teacher will download the file
and will be able to project it to the class

The other option would present the material in a detailed, wordy
online format suitable for self paced training. What the instructor
would normally say during the class would be explicitly written out.

This is the other way to go, you simply provide a set of html pages that
are suitable for teachers in class. In the website, you have a link to
this set of pages. This set of pages wiould simply be simpler and in
point form (ULs and OLs would predominate)

My God, some people have the gift of simplicity. It took me paragraphs
to say the same thing. Where can I learn such brevity?

I have my favourite course studies booklet right here, all from the Dale
Carnegie Schools and this is not one of the options...

One of the promises of XML is the possibility of transforming a base
document into various other formats by application of XSLT. In your case
it would transform the XML doc into an XHTML document, or a Powerpoint
presentation, or a PDF, etc.
I cannot say if such software yet exists. Maybe OpenOffice?

You could have a look at http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/

Then you could use the same markup with one stylesheet for "presentation
mode" and a different one for looking at it on the web.

You can hide details with e.g. div.wordyDetails { display: none } in the
presentation stylesheet.

Web pages can be asociated with alternate stylesheets. A modern browser can
allow the user to select the desired one in the client side. Al least
Firefox suport this. See:

http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/present....html#h-14.3.2

A stylesheet can filter out specific parts of the contents by specifying
display: none for them.

That is true, but then wouldn't you be using the style sheet to
determine content?

If the OP wants a PowerPoint presentation for some users, and a detailed
series of web pages for others, he can just create both and provide
links to both. The only problem I can see is that with the same(ish)
content in both places, he may have to do some extra work if the content
changes.

"Konverter" sells a tool that will convert a web page (html) into
some other pure graphic image: khtml2xxx.exe

Those graphic images can easily be turned into a slide show.
