'''S5''' (''Simple Standards-Based Slide Show System'') is an [[XHTML]]-based file format for defining [[slideshow]]s. 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]].

==History==
The initial version of S5<ref name="s5-11-release" /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/v/1.0/structure-ref.html|title=S5 1.0 Reference|first=Eric|last=Meyer|authorlink=Eric A.

On December 4, 2006, Andreas Gohr announced a [[DokuWiki]] plugin that converts [[Wiki markup]] to XHTML-compatible S5 presentations.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.splitbrain.org/blog/2006-12/04-presentations_in_dokuwiki|title=Presentations in DokuWiki|first=Andreas|last=Gohr|authorlink=Andreas Gohr|date=4 December 2006|accessdate=29 August 2010}}</ref>

In December 2006, Christian Effenberger launched ''S5 Reloaded'', an extended version of S5 with new features such as autorun, scalable images, sound support, transition effects and new themes.

In July 2010, Daniel Mendler created diascope, [https://github.com/minad/diascope Diascope] is a mostly-S5-compatible implementation. It is inspired by s5-reloaded. It has support for embedded SVG and MathML, theme switching. CSS is handled by [[Sass (stylesheet language)|SASS]].

Todd A. Jacobs host git repo CodeGnome-S5 https://github.com/CodeGnome/s5

Gerald Bauer maintains [https://github.com/geraldb/s6 S6 Project]  S6 started as a rewrite of Eric Meyer’s S5 using the jQuery JavaScript library – offering easier to understand and easier to extend code. Add plugins, effects and more.

[https://github.com/Seldaek/slippy slippy] is S5 compatible project By Jordi Boggiano which has capability to export html slideshow into pdf

One can use reStructuredText to generate S5 presentation using rst2s5.py http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/slide-shows.html

Rob Flaherty created a light weight HTML SlideShow https://github.com/robflaherty/html-slideshow, It has feature to execute Javascript for particular slides by binding the "newSlide" events.

==Structure==
The content of an S5 presentation can be stored in a single XHTML file. This file contains several slides which are structured in the following way:

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<div class="slide">
 <h1>slide title</h1>
 <ul>
   <li>the first point</li>
   <li>the second point</li>
   <li>the third point</li>
 </ul>
 <div class="handout">
  ... additional material that appears
     on the handout
 </div>
</div>
</syntaxhighlight>

S5 presentations can be viewed in outline and slideshow mode; [[Cascading Style Sheets]] are used to define different layouts for outline, slideshow and print. Navigation controls, a dynamically generated list of slides and [[accesskey]]s allow browsing back and forth.

A more [[semantic]] version of the S5 format is based on the [[XOXO (microformat)|XOXO]] [[microformat]] and uses <code>&lt;li class="slide"&gt;</code> instead of divs for the slides, as well as <code>&lt;ol class="xoxo presentation"&gt;</code> instead of a div for the overall presentation.
