103 \begin_layout Abstract
105 LyX and FoilTeX combine to provide a powerful presentation package for creating
107 \begin_inset Quotes eld
111 \begin_inset Quotes erd
114 also known as slides and overhead transparencies.
117 \begin_layout Foilhead
122 \begin_layout Standard
128 \begin_layout Standard
139 \begin_layout Standard
141 A Foilhead starts a new foil.
148 version is also provided that reduces the separation between the Foilhead
149 and the body of the foil.
150 Almost all the environments found in other classes are also supported.
153 \begin_layout Itemize
159 \begin_layout Standard
167 The new Itemize Bullet Selection popup
171 \begin_layout Itemize
173 is tailor-made for use with the foils class
177 \begin_layout Itemize
179 allowing you to select the bullet used
183 \begin_layout Itemize
185 at each of the four levels of the Itemize environment
190 \begin_layout Itemize
192 NOTE: to get the full capabilities of the Itemize Bullet Selection popup
193 read the Special Tools manual and the ItemizeBullets.lyx file included with
197 \begin_layout Itemize
199 NOTE 2: To get your list spacing small like this use the FoilTeX command:
208 set as TeX at the start of the first item.
211 \begin_layout ShortFoilhead
213 This is a ShortFoilhead
216 \begin_layout Standard
222 \begin_layout Standard
233 \begin_layout Standard
235 The foils class has been extended to provide two additional bullet-lists.
236 These lists are namely:
239 \begin_layout TickList
244 \begin_layout Standard
249 \begin_layout CrossList
254 \begin_layout Standard
256 These two lists were added because the listing of do's and don'ts or good
257 and bad are relatively common in foils.
258 Providing a dedicated paragraph style for these occasions should allow
259 faster entry and simplify interaction with LyX.
262 \begin_layout Rotatefoilhead
267 \begin_layout Standard
274 \begin_layout Itemize
276 Create landscape foils by using Rotatefoilhead
279 \begin_layout Itemize
281 Note that if you are viewing this with xdvi the page will appear to overrun
282 the page dimensions because it xdvi doesn't rotate the text
285 \begin_layout Itemize
287 If you view this document using ghostview or something similar then the
288 page should appear rotated.
289 If not then you probably don't have the necessary dvips driver.
292 \begin_layout Definition*
294 There are also several environments specially designed for presenting Theorems,
295 Lemmas, Corollaries, Propositions, Proofs and Definitions.
296 These are available as numbered or unnumbered environments.
299 \begin_layout ShortRotatefoilhead
304 \begin_layout Standard
310 \begin_layout Standard
321 \begin_layout Itemize
323 Again the short version reduces the space below the heading
326 \begin_layout Itemize
328 Another way to control the amount of separation is to adjust the length
330 This will affect both the normal and short versions of foilhead and rotatefoilh
342 foilheadskip}{-0.5in}
347 will reduce the spacing by 0.5 inches.
348 Other units include mm (millimeters) and pt (points).
351 \begin_layout Itemize
359 versions of the foilheads reduce the separation by 0.5 inches (approximately
363 \begin_layout ShortFoilhead
368 \begin_layout Standard
374 \begin_layout Standard
387 Several consecutive paragraphs of type
423 or the starred versions of these are part of the same environment.
428 As you can see, we are still in the same lemma.
431 \begin_layout Standard
437 \begin_layout Standard
448 To force this second Lemma straight after the first it's necessary to add
449 some dividing text or as I've done in this case separate the two by inserting
456 inset that simply contains a
457 \begin_inset Quotes eld
461 \begin_inset Quotes erd
465 This is simply a comment character in LaTeX but the insertion of the LaTeX
466 paragraph is sufficient to fool LyX into correctly handling the multiple
472 NOTE: You only have this problem with multiple paragraphs of the same type
479 with different types such as a Proof followed by a Theorem.

821 FoilTeX provides some powerful header and footer capabilities
825 \begin_layout Standard
827 You can also use the standard footnotes like this one.
832 that are best set in the preamble although they may be set at any point
834 If you want to change these settings in the document the best place to
835 do so is at the very top of a foil ie.
836 straight after the foilhead.
839 \begin_layout Standard
841 The left-footer is controlled by two commands:
858 The first is meant to allow you to include a graphic logo on your foils
860 \begin_inset Quotes eld
864 \begin_inset Quotes erd
868 While the second is meant to provide a classification for the audience
873 \begin_layout Standard
875 The remaining corners are controlled by:
878 \begin_layout Standard

931 Your LaTeX distribution should include some documentation on FoilTeX.
932 There are many more features in FoilTeX than those described here.
933 For example, FoilTeX can automatically place a horizontal rule between
934 the headers and all foilheads, and between the body and the footers.
