## DESCRIPTION

The Slide Show (S9) Ruby gem lets you create slide shows and author slides in plain text
using a wiki-style markup language that's easy-to-write and easy-to-read.
The Slide Show (S9) project also collects and welcomes themes and ships
"out-of-the-gem" with built-in support for "loss-free" gradient vector graphics themes.
