Presentations with Dillo in plain HTML #166

Description

@rodarima

It would be nice if we can use Dillo to show slides too (specially if the presentation is about Dillo itself).

One option could be to design the HTML document in such a way that has pages of the viewport size, and then an anchor link to the next element. This would involve some kind of automatic tool to inject the HTML links, so the document must be prepared to be presented.

Another, maybe simpler, solution is to simply rely on header sections h1, h2... as the delimiters of a page, which is also set to the viewport size. Then we just need to automatically add a virtual anchor to each section and a keymap to jump to the next/previous section of the same level. This will also allow multiple levels, so we can go up, then skip a few parts and go down again. Ideally, a markdown document could be converted to HTML and directly rendered in Dillo as slides.

This may also open the door to read Ebooks or other documents by well delimited pages. Avoiding the scroll can lead to significant power save, as we only need to render once per page instead of once per mouse wheel step.

Manually adding anchors to specific sections doesn't require any special machinery.
