2021-11-28 The slide framework b6+ has a couple of
new features: 1) When slides are embedded in an
iframe or object, links in the slide replace
the parent document, rather than open inside the iframe.
2) It is possible to embed a slide as a static page, disabling
the navigation to other slides. 3) Accessibility has improved:
When switching slides, the new slide is made available to screen
readers. See an explanation
of ARIA role=application and aria-live by Léonie Watson. The
explanation talks about Shower, but b6+ is similar. 4) When
slides do not have ID attributes, you can still start at a specific
slide by giving its number as fragment ID. E.g., to open a
presentation with slide 25, end the URL with ?full#25.
5) The F1 key switches to full screen, because not all browsers
provide a command for that. 6) Pressing the ‘?’ key
in slide mode pops up a brief overview of available commands.
7) It is now possible to disable the use of a left mouse click to
advance slides. 8) Another option hides the mouse pointer when it
doesn't move for some seconds. 9) Various small bug fixes and
improvements.
You can read the manual or download a zip file containing the JavaScript file (b6plus.js), a style sheet (simple.css), the manual (Overview.html) and some images used in the manual.

the HTML-XML-utils adds support
