Hello all,
I just discovered this awesome browser directed and standards compliant (xhtml) way of creating slideshows, and was asking myself if there exists any editor out there to create such slideshows without the need of coding, so that I could suggest this format to my friends too.
Since these slideshows run on any decent browser, I was asking myself if they work on the N900 default browser too, could you please try some examples (I'll post the links below)?

For those that don't know S5, I really suggest to give it a look:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S5_%28file_format%29
http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/
example: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/s5-intro.html
enhanced S5 (the former S5 seems abandoned by its author): http://www.netzgesta.de/S5/
examples and demos: http://www.netzgesta.de/S5/demos.php

I really wish there is some kind of editor, possibly opensource, or a Nvu extension that makes that possible...

I prefer Slidy or acc_slide (info only in Spanish yet).

And perhaps, if the browser supports SVG, we could try JessyInk to make SVG slides ;-)

I've been working on 'Slider' for the last few weeks and will have a beta in extras-devel in a week or so. Currenty you can create the presentation without coding but for editing you are presented with the already created html to edit.

S5 looks awfull in McroB but perfect in Tear - should be fine on N900

Functions available in 0.2 will be:

Build Tables ( with / without headers )
Build Lists ( ordered/unordered/incremental )
Titles/Headers ( h1,2,3,4 )
Images ( not yet incremental )
Insert / Add / Delete slide
Show in Browser
Export Presentation as a zip

I'm working with python2.5 on an N800 but I can't see it being too hard to port to the N900 ( On pre-order with MPD )

Thanks for the nice additional examples.

Anyway i find "S5 Reloaded" the best so far, with the animations, scaling of content depending on the size, audio background, disappearing menu with several options on the bottom, pie charts, several themes...
The purpose should be to assimilate the most powerpoint (and similar programs) features possible.. I begin to wish there was a active project behind it to coordinate the grow of it as a standard and develop an editor...
(*hint hint* )

@rcull:
is your application based on the S5 conventions? if yes, awesome
(well, good work anyway )
