I'm using my own tool. In fact, the same tool can be used for dynamic 
web sites (such as http://www.agencexml.com) or just "slides" (such as 
http://www.agencexml.com/xsltforms-slideshow).

It's based on XML models and replacements of any element accessed by an 
id. XSLT instructions are embedded to construct the dynamic parts. For 
that, I have written in PHP 5 (so web hosting is not a problem) my own 
engine to interpret such an XML format.

I'm now thinking of an XForms capable version... and of an XRX 
application to manage slides from different slideshows.
