Ah! That's a clever solution!

I see. Each slide should be presented by a certain link in the menu.
That's easy to specify in a source but

If pp2html could provide a -no_headers option to suppress page title
display on a slide (but not for navigation) ...

.... in combination with a -no_headers setting to avoid headlines
displayed twice.
