present.tex Version 2.2.1, February 2019 Some simple macros for preparing presentations in TeX Copyright 2010-2019 Matthias Meister Distributed under the LaTeX Project Public License present.tex holds the macros, and is simply \input in a file HowToTalkTeX.pdf is a presentation on present.tex done with the macros HowToTalkTeX.tex is the corresponding source; together with the pdf it is an example of how the macros are used to prepare a talk. Required: pdftex The macros in present.tex allow the user to: +) set a colour for the background and for the text +) set background images +) include links between parts of the presentation +) include weblinks +) include links to local files +) include images +) show slides incrementally The macros as such are simple enough so that users should not find it difficult to adapt them to their needs. A documentation for pdftex and the PDF-Reference might occasionally be useful in the context of those macros which have PDF-code in their replacement text. ----------------------- Changes From 2.2 to 2.2.1: Merely updated contact details in files. No changes to the macros. From 2.1 to 2.2: Added macros \Frames, \endFrames, \onframe, \afterframe, \beforeframe to support the incremental showing of a slide as a sequence of frames. The additional source file present-transitions.tex contains macro definitions which allow to use transition effects between slides / frames. From 2.0 to 2.1: Fixed a bug which caused complaints about unknown operators 0.0RG and 0.0rg with some pdf-viewers. From 1.0 to 2.0: *) An image can be set on the slide background. *) Added control word \rm for using roman type at correct size within math. *) Rewritten colour support; miniltx.tex, color.tex, color.sty no longer required. As a result, control sequences for handling colour have changed.
