Slide Show (S9) Ruby Gem - A Free Web Alternative to KeyNote and PowerPoint

by geraldbauer —

I have created the slideshow (S9) Ruby gem - a free web alternative to KeyNote and PowerPoint - 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. The latest slideshow (S9) gem update now also includes code syntax highlighting using the Ultraviolet gem.

Nice, looks really cool - because simple!

But now I see that it requires a Firefox plugin. Hmm. It would be nice if you could render it to different formats (e.g. one with Javascript, but no dependency on a Firefox-Addon).

I would like to see slideshows included in some webapps - so please keep the dependencies low.

Thanks and greetings, Soleone

Hello, Soleone, Slide Show (S9)-generated web pages are compatible with the Opera Show Format (OSF) and, thus, your slide shows will work with the Opera browser “out-of-the-box” without requiring any plugins (just press F11 to get started and page up/down to flip through the slides).

Thanks for the suggestion. A JavaScript version is planned for the next update. Still working out an easy way for packaging all the additional required supporting files that are now all stowed away in the plugin or already built into the browser. Cheers.

You can use basic HTML markup (e.g. <a>) or Markdown.
