--- layout: default cover: false title: PodSlideshow --- =head2 Create HTML Slideshows with POD L is an easy to learn structured markup language aimed to write documentation for Perl modules. L uses this language as its markup and therefore I wanted to use it for HTML slideshows as well. P =head3 Pod::S5 0.09 B is a perl program which parses a POD input file and generates a ready to use HTML slideshow. The slideshow generated uses L by B as presentation engine. It is a fabulous system using XHTML, CSS and Javascript. Take a look at the L on his page to get an impression what it looks like and how it works. You can get the latest version of B from L. I maintain also a local copy here: L. Please note, B supports syntax highlighting of various languages using the perl Module L if it's installed. L came up with a new site devoted to development of B L, which aims to continue development of S5. The latest version of this site will be part of the next B version. =head3 Pod::HTMLSlidy Another framework for HTML based slideshows is L by L. I am planning to write a B tool based on B soon. Stay tuned. =head3 Pod::AxPoint 0.04 Another tool for creating slideshows is L which is part of the content management framework L. Although it generates B files, I decided to write a wrapper for it to make it possible to write AxPoint presentations in POD. In fact I had the idea before I knew of B - however, you may download the tool anyway. You can get the latest version of B from L I maintain also a local copy here: L. Take a look at the L and the L. =head3 Fullscreen slideshow You can install the L firefox extension which hides the toolbars on B key press. =cut
