S5 (file format)

S5 (file format)

S5 stands for "Simple Standards-Based Slide Show System" and is an XHTML-based file format for defining slideshows. It was created by Eric A. Meyer as an alternative to the browser-centric Opera Show Format. S5 is not a presentation program, but fulfills the same purpose in combination with a standards-compliant web browser. The text of an S5 presentation can be stored in a single XHTML file. This file contains several slides which are coded in the following way.

<div class="slide"> <h1>slide title</h1> <ul> <li>the first point</li> <li>the second point</li> <li>the third point</li> </ul> <div class="handout"> ... additional material that appears on the handout </div> </div>

S5 presentations can be viewed in outline and slideshow mode - Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are used to define different layouts for outline, slideshow and print. Navigation controls, a dynamically generated list of slides and accesskeys allow browsing back and forth.

A more semantic version of the S5 format is based on the XOXO microformat and uses <li class="slide"> instead of divs for the slides, as well as <ol class="xoxo presentation"> instead of a div for the overall presentation.

On July 28th, 2005, the S5 format and software was placed in the Public Domain by Eric Meyer.

On September 7, 2005, Carsten Borman released [http://tzi.org:2000/s6.html S6, a "synchronized S5"] for coordinated display of an S5 slideshow to a number of different users.

On July 17th, 2006, Ryan King launched [http://s5project.org s5project.org] , "a new community site, dedicated to the S5 Presentation software".

In December 2006, Christian Effenberger launched [http://s5.netzgesta.de/ S5 Reloaded] , an extended version of S5 (autorun, scalable images, sound support, transition effects, new themes etc.).
