Presentation Overview

Why Should You Care?
--------------------
 
- ``RestructuredText/S5`` is an easy way to go from plain text to
final slides. (With no or very minimal explicit markup.)
 
- This makes it a snap to go from your meeting notes straight
into slides.
 
- ``S5`` by itself is a major pain - you have to know a lot of ``HTML``.
- But ``RestructuredText`` on top of ``S5`` makes the process
almost trivial.
 
- It generates XHTML which means your slides can be web hosted.
 
- It's all Open Source and Free.
 
- ``s5`` is built on ``JavaScript`` and uses ``CSS``.
- ``RestructuredText`` is written in ``Python``.
 
- It's themable so you can "brand" your slide sets.
 
- *WAY* quicker than PowerPoint/OO Presentation for most applications.
 
- Be sure to mouse over the lower right corner of each page to see
the navigation tools.
 
- You'll find more information on all this in the Appendix_
