Hello,
I've published an update to Slide Show (S9) - a Ruby 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.
What's new?
The Slide Show (S9) gem now supports headers that let you set
options in your source e.g. use
title: Microformats - Adding Semantics to Your Web Site - Web 3.0 in Action
to set the web page title. Use
gradient-colors: green lime
gradient-colors: #0e1f5b #3b5998
gradient: top-bottom black grey
to set the style and/or colors for your gradient background theme.
Use
code-theme: blackboard
code-line-numbers: false
to select the Ultraviolet syntax highlighting theme and turn off
line numbering. Thanks to zimbatm (*1) for sending in patches for
fixing the slideshow gem executable on Unix and on getting started
with syntax highlighting using the Ultraviolet (*2) gem.
To use/turn on the experimental syntax highlighting in your slide
shows specify the language using #! ruby after the code block e.g.:
{{{
#!ruby
puts "syntaxes:"
puts Uv.syntaxes.join( ", " )
puts "themes:"
puts Uv.themes.join( ", " )
}}}
Finally, I've created a new mailing list/forum for free web slide
show alternatives such as S5, S9, FullerScreen and friends. Join us @
http://groups.google.com/group/webslideshow

Cheers.
