It's just that I can't (within an appropriate amount of time) produce a slide with the layout I want (header at the top, footer at the bottom, content centered). > One of the > issues I had with reveal last time I played with it was that my > presentations looked different depending on which browser and/or display > I used.

Every render engine has a certain amount of degrees of freedom on how they can render a html construct. To tackle that problem my idea was, as a first step, to produce slides based on reveal.js. That way I can use features, that might be handy when it comes to teaching stuff. And maybe (I don't have numbers etc., so I can be totally wrong) it is more likely to have a more or less decent web browser at hand than a pdf viewer, esp. when it comes to mobile devices. As a second step, I wanted to use decktape to generate a pdf file from the html based slides. That gives me a format with a more reproducible layout (assuming that the render engine in decktape generates the same output for subsequent runs). Regards hmw PS: I opened a bug report for org-reveal, asking for an approach to tackel to my issue. Maybe someone is so kind and points me in the right direction ;).
