This is really cool.

I'm trying to use it on a standalone wiki and local links all go to the main paqe, although internet links work. I've tried full url links to the page, but they still go to the main page. Any hints?

Other than that, I love it. Thanks to the author.

It works only on english wiki. Also, if the paragraph is too long to fit on screen, user has to scroll (if it's supposed to be a presentation, it should scroll automatically). There are no Prev/Exit/Next links on bottom of page.

I think it doesn't work on protected pages (like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek ), but i'm not sure as I didn't tried much articles.

Very nice. Is there a way of having text replace the previous text under the same heading (section)? The default is to append, but if there are lots of bullets the page gets filled up.

Thanks Gareth. I just updated it.

This version is broken.

Newer versions of mediawiki (eg. en.wikipedia.org ) use a span with class="editsection" rather than a div.

To fix this script replace the first three occurences of "div" with "span".

Great script! Worked perfectly. Made a presentation without any effort.
