1016 \begin_layout Enumerate
1017 \begin_inset Flex Structure
1020 \begin_layout Plain Layout
1026 is a frame without a sidebar/header (such as this one).
1027 This is useful for slides with much content\SpecialChar \slash{}
1031 \begin_layout Enumerate
1032 \begin_inset Flex Structure
1035 \begin_layout Plain Layout
1041 is to be used if the frame consists of

1254 at the position where the appendix should begin
1258 \begin_layout Itemize
1259 Typical content of the appendix is the bibliography

1312 Basically, the overlay concept allows to change the slide content dynamically.
1313 You can uncover things/text piecewise, fade out content, highlight things,
1314 replace text, images etc.

1323 \begin_inset Argument 1
1326 \begin_layout Plain Layout
1332 Overlays are useful to build up slides as you speak
1335 \begin_layout Itemize
1336 They help you to shift your audience's focus on specific things
1339 \begin_layout Itemize
1340 And they help your audience to follow you

1375 \begin_layout Plain Layout
1385 \begin_inset Flex Structure
1388 \begin_layout Plain Layout
1394 provides many different overlay types.
1395 The most important ones are:
1399 \begin_layout Description
1401 \begin_inset space ~
1404 content: Stuff that is completely invisible up to a point
1407 \begin_layout Description
1409 \begin_inset space ~
1412 content: Stuff that is faded out (not completely invisible)
1415 \begin_layout Description
1417 \begin_inset space ~
1420 content: Stuff that is somehow emphasized at a certain point
1425 We give examples for these types in what follows, but begin with some general

1767 Ich weiß nicht, was ich will
1773 ich will nicht, was ich weiß

1790 This is how the concept works, basically.
1793 \begin_layout Separator

1812 The difference between
1813 \begin_inset Quotes eld
1817 \begin_inset Quotes erd
1821 \begin_inset Quotes eld
1825 \begin_inset Quotes erd
1828 is that hidden content is treated as if it isn't there, while covered content
1829 is just covered (and the space is reserved).
1830 If we would have hidden the quote on the last slide and not covered, it
1831 would only have taken space on appearance:
1836 \begin_inset Argument 1
1839 \begin_layout Plain Layout
1847 Ich weiß nicht, was ich will
1853 ich will nicht, was ich weiß
1859 im Sommer ist mir kalt
