This "Generate documents" feature in kdissert takes the treestructure
and generates different kind of documents from it. It is like "export
to html" in knowit, but allows for much wider range - OpenOffice text
or presentation, Latex article or beamer presentation etc.

If I want to make a presentation, it is much easier to visually lay
out and (re)organize the structure of presentation first in an
application like knowit (or kdissert) and then just let it generate
the presentation.

As I can do it in kdissert too, it would not bring anything new to the
linux world, and thus should not be any priority, but if it should be
easy to implement, this additional functionality would not do any harm
either.

The structure of information in kdissert and knowit is very similar,
so I would imagine that in perfect world it would just take a wrapper
to pass the knowit file to kdissert's "generate documents" part. The
real world might be very different :)

Ok, as I said, this is by no means sine qua non, just a notice, that
you might want to take a  peek at it while thinking about additional
functionality.
