SlideShow is an image viewer. The images in a library are
arranged in order, but shown one at a time, with links to go to the
next image, previous image, and back to the start. Image captions
are also shown.
The images are ordered alphabetically by the image name. You can
change the image order by changing the names of the images. (One
common trick is to prefix each image name with a number, which makes it
easier to adjust the ordering.)
The navigation links are normally text links, but SlideShow also
supports nav buttons in four colours: green, blue, black, and red.
When you select the SlideShow, the parameters field remains a simple
text field. You must enter your preferences in the format:
pref1=value&pref2=value&... Options are:

AJAX Slideshows
The SlideShow plug-in works well in AJAX mode. This causes the
next image to be loaded without reloading the entire page, which is
faster and smoother. It works best if the images are all the same
dimensions.
To switch over to AJAX mode, edit the plug-in tag in plain-text mode, and change the text:
<!--&SlideShow(...)-->
to:
<!--&&&SlideShow(...)-->
