README for the Slides Document Type V1.1

The Slides doctype is a document type for authoring presentations.
This distribution includes the DTD, which is a customization of the
Simplified DocBook XML DTD, and XSL Stylesheets for producing HTML.
XSL Stylesheets for producing FOs are, um, primitive at best.

What isn't included is really good documentation. Sigh.

Process your Slides documents with the slides.xsl stylesheet

includes an IE5 variable, if it is non-zero, the result is
"JavaScript enhanced" in a few small ways to make the framed
slides experience nicer.
