How on earth is this:

Presentation Cover
------------------

*Richard Jones, Another Author*

*Some very important conference, March 2002*

Second slide
------------

- blah, blah blah blah blah. blah, blah blah blah blah.
- blah, blah blah blah blah.



more complex than this...

<presentation>
<stylesheet module="modern" function="getParagraphStyles"/>
<section name="Main">
<fixedimage filename="logo.gif" x="0" y="0" width="134" height="70"/>
<slide id="Slide001" title="presentation cover">
<frame x="160" y="72" width="600" height="432" leftmargin="36" 
rightmargin="0">
<para style="Heading2">Presentation Cover</para>
<para><i>Richard Jones, Another Author</i></para>
<para><i>Some very important conference, March 2002</i></para>
</frame>
</slide>
<slide id="Slide002" title="second slide">
<frame x="160" y="72" width="600" height="432" leftmargin="36" 
rightmargin="0">
<para style="Heading2">Second slide</para>
<para style="Bullet">blah, blah blah blah blah. blah, blah blah blah 
blah.</para>
<para style="Bullet">blah, blah blah blah blah.</para>
</frame>
</slide>
</section>
</presentation>


... can't see it myself... :)
