S⁵ or simply S5 is a cross-browser slide-show system using pure HTML and JavaScript. Its name is derived from Simple Standards-based Slide Show System — 5 times «S», or simply S⁵.

S5SlideShow is a MediaWiki extension allowing simple, fast and convenient creation of slide shows using S5 in the context of MediaWiki and Wiki pages.

Full description and usage information is here: http://wiki.4intra.net/S5SlideShow

Setup

Download

The source code now lives on Github:

See full feature list and usage information on extension homepage: http://wiki.4intra.net/S5SlideShow (English), http://wiki.4intra.net/S5SlideShow/ru (Russian).

This extension is similar to TooooOld's S5 extension (it was somewhere on this wiki, but now probably is removed), but it's far more advanced.

Installation

PHP DOM extension is required.

After the download and copy of the files, add the following line to your LocalSettings.php.

// headingmark attribute default value
$egS5SlideHeadingMark = false;
// incmark attribute default value
$egS5SlideIncMark = '(step)';

require_once( "$IP/extensions/S5SlideShow/S5SlideShow.php" );

Getting started

The tag <slideshow></slideshow> is used to allow to generate a link for the display of the slideshow.

<slideshow style="custis" headingmark="⌘⌘" incmark="…" scaled="true" font="Comic Sans MS, Calibri, cursive" >
;title: Let's start
;author: Vitaliy Filippov
</slideshow>

Attribute	Description
style	7 skins are available "out-of-the-box": blue, default, custis, nobook, flower, yatil, pixel. You can also create your own styles using wiki pages. See further information on the website [1].
headingmark	The extension searches for this character sequence inside all headings (== Just a simple MediaWiki heading like this ==), and if found, it maps the heading to a slide in the slide show mode. If the heading includes this substring then it will be a slide. If the headingmark attribute value is empty, no MediaWiki headings will be mapped to slides, only <slides> tags. Example: `; headingmark: Slide:`.
incmark	A similar character sequence that identifies «step-by-step» slides. Step-by-step means that if there are any lists (ordered # or unordered *) on the slide, they will be shown grayed, and with each mouse or Enter key click, the next list item will be highlighted.
centermark	This sequence is used to center the slide content without removing the heading.
scaled	If this attribute’s value is `1`, `true` or `yes` (case insensitive), then all slides' content is scaled automatically to fit the screen. Images, including SVG ones, are scaled too, and will always have size "relative" to the font size. This is not the basic S5 ability, but an our feature.
author	Slide show author (for the first (title) slide). Can contain Wiki markup.
title	Slide show title. Can contain Wiki markup.
subtitle	Slide show subtitle (for the title slide). Can contain Wiki markup.
subfooter	A string displayed in page footer on each slide. Can contain Wiki markup. Also, the word `{{date}}` is special inside it — it is replaced with last article edit timestamp.

Changes
