5 of the Best Free HTML5 Presentation Systems By Craig Buckler February 23, 2012 - 6 Best HTML5/CSS3 Presentation Frameworks byVikas Feb 27, 2012
What I think is worth attention now is:
- Deck.js http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/ 3600 stars sources
- Impress.js http://bartaz.github.io/impress.js 17000 stars sources
- Reveal.js http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/ 9500 stars sources
I tried authoring tools for Impress.js called Strut http://strut.io/dist/index.html. Looks nice, but it is not authoring HTML5, but for creating presentation. Dissatisfied. Well, the project is in active development, see what future will bring.
Personally I would like to have HTML Editor where I can drag-and-drop picture, and that would add needed HTML tags. Then markdown support.

P.S.
- Shower https://github.com/shower/shower http://shwr.me/ 1300 Stars Name is confusing, though they said they meant [‘ʃəuə]. I don’t know what dictionary they looked in.

I went with Reveal.js as it has Markdown support. Also http://slid.es/ and good Browser-Support However External Markdown doesn’t work in reveal.js-2.4.0, only with external server.
