Simple Standards-based Slide Show System (S5) is Eric Meyer’s (of CSS fame) public domain (free, open source) slide show package inspired by Opera Show and others that works in all modern browsers without any plugin required because it includes its own slide show machinery in JavaScript.

S6 started as a rewrite of Eric Meyer’s S5 using the jQuery JavaScript library – offering easier to understand and easier to extend code. Add plugins, effects and more. Contributions welcome!
A Ruby gem that lets you create slide shows and author slides in plain text using a wiki-style markup language that’s easy-to-write and easy-to-read and ships “out-of-the-gem” with S6 templates built-in. More Slide Show (S9) Project Site »
