#Making slides using only headings, like touying

I really like how the touying slides template lets me define new slides using simply = heading or == heading. But when I do that, e.g. like I did here: https://gist.github.com/sshine/04ea2c27ee6eccd841631381926b8ac1 -- then I get something like in the screenshot: Pagebreaks before and after each headline. The pagebreaks make sense given that the template has pagebreak(weak: true) before and after every heading, but if I remove them, I'll get a bunch of white, empty pages...

I'd like to avoid the #slide[ ... ] style templating that I am capable of making. The touying templates contain a bit too much template magic that makes it hard for me to understand how they do it.

Hmm, both slydst and touying-0.5.0 seem very interesting. Thanks for the recommendation.

I parked my custom styling for a bit, since I actually needed to make slides, and just went with one of touying's built-in themes.

I'll see if I can make a theme for either slydst (for which the source code is slightly more readable) or touying-0.5.0 (for which I have not assessed).
