How does it works?
S5easy.com uses the Simple Standards-Based Slide Show System short S5. It is a 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.
