Hello, The Ruby Slide Show (S9) 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 has switched the default S9-generated slide shows to S6 since the FullerScreen Firefox addon hasn’t been updated for the latest Firefox 3.0 release and I have no clue when any updates (if at all will happen) I have Note, you still can generate FullerScreen slide shows (just flip the new --fullerscreen switch). What’s S6? S6 is my rewrite of Eric Meyer’s S5 JavaScript code using the jQuery JavaScript library - offering easier to understand and easier to extend code. That’s the idea. You can find the code online @ [http://slideshow.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/lib/templates/s6/slides.js](http://slideshow.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/lib/templates/s6/slides.js) and compare it to [http://slideshow.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/lib/templates/s5/slides.js](http://slideshow.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/lib/templates/s5/slides.js) Add plugins, effects and more. Contributions welcome! To reflect the Slide Show (S9) support of various formats S5, S6, Opera Show, FullerScreen, etc. I have also updated the project site and the 10-minute tutorial. Comments and questions welcome. Cheers.
