2. # What Is S5?

   - It's a Simple Standards-based Slide Show System
   - One XHTML document provides all of the slide show's content
   - CSS handles the layout and look of the slides
   - JavaScript handles the dynamic aspects of the show
   - That's all there is to it! (skip to summary; demonstrates links internal to the slide show)
   - I have notes here!
   - Keen.
   - Remember to tell people that notes are a new feature in 1.2

3. # Operatic Origins

   - Opera 4 introduced Opera Show, a projection-mode style sheet technology (link demonstrates external link styling and window spawning)
   - Allows a single XHTML document to be turned into a PowerPoint-like slide show
   - Adding screen and print style sheets allows for multi-medium views of a single document
   - Highly efficient, but highly browser centric...
   - S5 and OperaShow diverged greatly in S5 1.1
   - S5 1.2 should (we hope) bring them into harmony once more

4. # Incremental Display

   - Keep hitting/clicking "next" as long as it isn't the control link (»)
   - Bullet points are revealed one by one
     - All based on class name of `inc`
     - Lists can be classed to make items appear individually
     - Individual items can be classed as well to create "animations"; see Derek Featherstone's example
   - Let's try it again, but without the first bullet point being pre-highlighted...

5. # Incremental Display II

   - Keep hitting/clicking "next" as long as it isn't the control link (»)
   - Bullet points are revealed one by one
     - All based on class name of `incremental`
     - Lists can be classed to make items appear individually
     - Individual items can be classed as well to create "animations"; see Derek Featherstone's example
   - Notice how the sub-list was part of the parent bullet point; that was done on purpose
   - Now to move on to other test slides!

9. # Incremental S5 Themes

   (one by one!)

10. # Incremental Animation

    - A demonstration of just one of the many ways to accomplish simple animation-like effects (using a diagram from "XFN and...")

11. # In Summary

    - With minimal scripting, we have recreated and improved upon a (currently) browser-specific technology, making it cross-browser in the process
    - The S5 format is OSF 1.0 compatible
    - S5 is a very flexible and lightweight slide show system available for anyone to use
