40 How to make a presentation with LyX
42 and the seminar LaTeX class
43 \layout SlideSubHeading
45 seminar.cls and seminar.layout
47 template and introduction
57 \layout LandscapeSlide
62 Some basic points to start with:
65 Obviously, you need seminar.cls (somewhere, where LaTeX can find it) and
66 seminar.layout in your layouts dir (
73 It is really helpfull to read
77 , the documentation that comes with seminar as well as the LyX User Guide.
80 Set the documentclass to
84 When you did a reconfigure after installing seminar, this class should show
85 up in the Layout>Document dialog.
88 Start a slide with an paragraph of type
98 \layout LandscapeSlide
100 \layout LandscapeSlide
105 Putting some stuff in a slide
108 If a paragraph shall appear in a slide, it need to be
111 either inside the opening
127 How to nest things is explained in the User Guide chapter 3.4, basically
133 Press Alt-p > and see the red brace appear on the left side
136 To nest more than one paragraph at once, mark them and press Alt-p >
139 Press Alt-Return instead of Return, when the next paragraph shall be nested

160 What can be part of a slide?
163 Virtually everything that can appear in normal LaTeX, can also be on a slide.
166 (Well, floats are an exception --- who would want them on a slide.)
169 Aditionally there are the commands/types
201 All of them can be found in the Style pulldown (Alt-p Space).

211 environment will go on top of the slide as a standard paragraph.
215 What happens, when you want a List or a Heading first?
218 LyX doesnot like empty paragraphs and it kills empty environments before
219 you are able to nest something in them (if you don't insert an empty command,
237 tells LyX to leave an empty
247 so you don't need to ressort to the above workaround.
248 Unfortunately, LyX will not let you start a new paragraph until there is
249 something in the actual one (i.e.
250 pressing Enter does nothing :-(

265 insert some text (a single letter suffices) that you delete after writing
266 of the next paragraph, or
269 Write the content of the slide first and insert the opening
276 The same holds for the
280 Environment, that is needed becouse LyX will normally merge two environments
281 if they come immediately one after the other (i.e.
282 two Paragraphs in the
286 environment will go to one slide, if there is nothing else inbetween.)
292 There is no need for an
296 paragraph, if some notes follow the slide.
297 The semiar class puts everything that is not nested inside a slide environment
298 on extra pages (see the next slide for output options).
301 In case you don't want any text between the slides, the
305 environment can act as a dummy paragraph as this one will
306 \begin_inset Quotes gld
310 \begin_inset Quotes grd
314 (Again you need to write some dummy text which you can delete later again,
315 if you want to append a new paragraph with Enter.) Furthermore, it provides
316 a nice visual feedback to remember you that text following the blue line
317 will not go to the slide.
323 Seminar defines additional content-listing commands, as
325 tableofcontents (Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator
326 Lists and TOC\SpecialChar \menuseparator
327 TOC) only lists standard headings and
333 \begin_inset LatexCommand \tableofcontents{}
342 slidecontents (packed into the
346 Paragraph Style) lists every page of the output:
347 \layout SlideContents
351 If you want to have a listing of the slides only, use the
356 \layout LandscapeSlide
369 If you want to assure the audience, that the presentation is almost over,
375 \layout LandscapeSlide
378 \layout ProgressContents

391 slidesonly Only the slides are printed.
394 notesonly Only the notes are printed
397 notes Both notes and slides are printed.

417 onlyslides{8,9,11} print only slides number 8, 9 and 11 (e.g.
423 notslides{4,8,9,11} don't print these slides.

435 The LaTeX preamble (Layout>LaTeX preamble) is the right place for many many
436 options to get fancier formatting, e.g.:
439 different font sets, e.g.
446 Unfortunately, Pandora fonts are bitmapped -- they give bad screen output
447 with the acrobat reader.
