-A title page is constructed automatically from the document's title
-block. Each section (with a level-one header) produces a single slide.
-(Note that if the section is too big, the slide will not fit on the
-page; S5 is not smart enough to produce multiple pages.)

-The S5 file produced by pandoc with the `-s/--standalone`

-Using Slidy
------------

-If you use Slidy, things work a bit differently. As with S5, a new slide
-will be created at every level 1 header.  But you can also force a new
-slide by inserting a horizontal rule. For example:
-
-    % Eating Habits
-    % John Doe
-    % March 22, 2005
-
-    # In the morning
-
-    - Eat eggs
-    - Drink coffee

-    -----------------------------------------
+To produce the slide show, simply type
 
-    # In the evening

-    - Eat spaghetti
-    - Drink wine
+for S5, or

-    The end!

+scripts and CSS will be included directly in the generated file, so that
+it may be used offline.
 
-As before, you may use the `--offline` option to include all
-necessary scripts and stylesheets in the generated HTML file.

 Incremental lists
 -----------------
 
-Note that by default, these writers produces lists that display
-"all at once."  If you want your lists to display incrementally
-(one item at a time), use the `-i` option.  If you want a
-particular list to depart from the default (that is, to display
-incrementally without the `-i` option and all at once with the
-`-i` option), put it in a block quote:
