adds js presentation approach
If you're using MediaWiki, then you are accustomed to being able to quickly and efficiently organize your thoughts. It's a natural extension then to want to use those same "notes" in a presentation. There are many ways to achieve such a result.
One method is to simply parse the wiki markup itself and turn that into slides by effectively walking through the structure of the page (one slide for each section, and stepping through the bullets). For this approach, a Greasemonkey script will do.
[http://phiffer.org Dan Phiffer] wrote the following Greasemonkey script that [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/6372 turns any MediaWiki article into a slide presentation]. The [[CSS]] was changed just a bit by Greg Rundlett to ensure compatibility with projectors.
