Why not add automatic slide breaking for powerdot?

Hi,

I like powerdot very much. Here I have one suggestion.

Sometimes, there are too many contents on one single slide. If powerdot can automatically do slide breaking, it will be very convenient for me.

As I know, other presentation package like beamer or slidenotes already have this feature. Could somebody give me hints to achieve this by modifying the powerdot source code?

This is not easily achieved. It requires implementing powerdot in a
totally different way. See the archives for more discussion about
this.

OK! Thanks...

Sorry to hear this! Although sometimes I'm bothering to compile the file to see whether my slide is already full, I will still continue to use powerdot. According to recent discussion, powerdot is going to be released soon.

I'm expecting it ...
