Small text on s5?

Hi all.
I have found only one way of having smaller text on a slide, i.e. the
:tiny:`text` directive, but this is ugly if I want all or most of the text on a
slide smaller. In fact, lists and bullets are not well supported,and the
directive must be repeated for each line.
Is there a better way?
Thanks a lot.

Yes. Use the "class" or "container" directives
(http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html).

See http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/slide-shows.txt for examples.
