95 \begin_layout Abstract
97 LyX and FoilTeX combine to provide a powerful presentation package for creating
99 \begin_inset Quotes eld
103 \begin_inset Quotes erd
106 also known as slides and overhead transparencies.
109 \begin_layout Foilhead
114 \begin_layout Standard
120 \begin_layout Standard
131 \begin_layout Standard
133 A Foilhead starts a new foil.
138 version is also provided that reduces the separation between the Foilhead
139 and the body of the foil.
140 Almost all the environments found in other classes are also supported.
143 \begin_layout Itemize
149 \begin_layout Standard
157 The new Itemize Bullet Selection popup
161 \begin_layout Itemize
163 is tailor-made for use with the foils class
167 \begin_layout Itemize
169 allowing you to select the bullet used
173 \begin_layout Itemize
175 at each of the four levels of the Itemize environment
180 \begin_layout Itemize
182 NOTE: to get the full capabilities of the Itemize Bullet Selection popup
183 read the Special Tools manual and the ItemizeBullets.lyx file included with
187 \begin_layout Itemize
189 NOTE 2: To get your list spacing small like this use the FoilTeX command:
196 set as TeX at the start of the first item.
199 \begin_layout ShortFoilhead
201 This is a ShortFoilhead
204 \begin_layout Standard
210 \begin_layout Standard
221 \begin_layout Standard
223 The foils class has been extended to provide two additional bullet-lists.
224 These lists are namely:
227 \begin_layout TickList
232 \begin_layout Standard
237 \begin_layout CrossList
242 \begin_layout Standard
244 These two lists were added because the listing of do's and don'ts or good
245 and bad are relatively common in foils.
246 Providing a dedicated paragraph style for these occasions should allow
247 faster entry and simplify interaction with LyX.
250 \begin_layout Rotatefoilhead
255 \begin_layout Standard
262 \begin_layout Itemize
264 Create landscape foils by using Rotatefoilhead
267 \begin_layout Itemize
269 Note that if you are viewing this with xdvi the page will appear to overrun
270 the page dimensions because it xdvi doesn't rotate the text
273 \begin_layout Itemize
275 If you view this document using ghostview or something similar then the
276 page should appear rotated.
277 If not then you probably don't have the necessary dvips driver.
280 \begin_layout Definition*
282 There are also several environments specially designed for presenting Theorems,
283 Lemmas, Corollaries, Propositions, Proofs and Definitions.
284 These are available as numbered or unnumbered environments.
287 \begin_layout ShortRotatefoilhead
292 \begin_layout Standard
298 \begin_layout Standard
309 \begin_layout Itemize
311 Again the short version reduces the space below the heading
314 \begin_layout Itemize
316 Another way to control the amount of separation is to adjust the length
318 This will affect both the normal and short versions of foilhead and rotatefoilh
328 foilheadskip}{-0.5in}
332 will reduce the spacing by 0.5 inches.
333 Other units include mm (millimeters) and pt (points).
336 \begin_layout Itemize
342 versions of the foilheads reduce the separation by 0.5 inches (approximately
346 \begin_layout ShortFoilhead
351 \begin_layout Standard
357 \begin_layout Standard
370 Several consecutive paragraphs of type
394 or the starred versions of these are part of the same environment.
399 As you can see, we are still in the same lemma.
402 \begin_layout Standard
408 \begin_layout Standard
419 To force this second Lemma straight after the first it's necessary to add
420 some dividing text or as I've done in this case separate the two by inserting
425 inset that simply contains a
426 \begin_inset Quotes eld
430 \begin_inset Quotes erd
434 This is simply a comment character in LaTeX but the insertion of the LaTeX
435 paragraph is sufficient to fool LyX into correctly handling the multiple
441 NOTE: You only have this problem with multiple paragraphs of the same type
446 with different types such as a Proof followed by a Theorem.

780 FoilTeX provides some powerful header and footer capabilities
784 \begin_layout Standard
786 You can also use the standard footnotes like this one.
791 that are best set in the preamble although they may be set at any point
793 If you want to change these settings in the document the best place to
794 do so is at the very top of a foil ie.
795 straight after the foilhead.
798 \begin_layout Standard
800 The left-footer is controlled by two commands:
813 The first is meant to allow you to include a graphic logo on your foils
815 \begin_inset Quotes eld
819 \begin_inset Quotes erd
823 While the second is meant to provide a classification for the audience
828 \begin_layout Standard
830 The remaining corners are controlled by:
833 \begin_layout Standard
841 -- which defaults to page numbers

862 \begin_layout Foilhead
867 \begin_layout Standard
873 \begin_layout Standard
884 \begin_layout Standard
886 Your LaTeX distribution should include some documentation on FoilTeX.
887 There are many more features in FoilTeX than those described here.
888 For example, FoilTeX can automatically place a horizontal rule between
889 the headers and all foilheads, and between the body and the footers.
