+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+\SpecialChar LyX
+ has a
+\family sans
+Revtex
+\family default
+ textclass, which works with Rev\SpecialChar TeX
+ 3.1.
+ However, v3.1 is basically obsolete, as it works with \SpecialChar LaTeX
+ 2.09.
+ That means that it doesn't interact very well with \SpecialChar LyX
+, which requires \SpecialChar LaTeX2e
+, although
+ it has been kludged to work.
+ Since Rev\SpecialChar TeX
+ 4.0 has been designed to work much more cleanly with \SpecialChar LaTeX2e
+, \SpecialChar LyX
+ with the
+
+\family sans
+Rev\SpecialChar TeX
+
+\begin_inset space ~
+\end_inset

+ textclass should also be pretty easy to use.
+\end_layout

+\begin_layout Standard
+These documents are supposed to be used in

+\emph default
+ to the Rev\SpecialChar TeX
+ 4.0 documents, so we don't describe any of the special Rev\SpecialChar TeX

+ and assume you'll know what to put in the preamble if necessary.

+\begin_layout Subsection
+Installation
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+All you need to do is install Rev\SpecialChar TeX
+ 4, as described in the package's README
+ file.
+ The package can be found at The Rev\SpecialChar TeX
+ 4 Web Site
+\begin_inset Flex URL
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+
+http://publish.aps.org/revtex4/
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+.
+ Install it somewhere that \SpecialChar LaTeX
+ can see it.
+ Test it by trying to \SpecialChar LaTeX
+ a short Rev\SpecialChar TeX
+ 4 document in some random directory (i.
+\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
+\end_inset
+
+e.
+\begin_inset space \space{}
+\end_inset
+
+not the directory where you installed the class file.) Then, if you reconfigure
+ \SpecialChar LyX
+, it will find the class file and let you use the Rev\SpecialChar TeX
+4 textclass.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Probably the easiest way to get started is either to import a Rev\SpecialChar TeX
+ 4 document
+ using
+\family typewriter
+tex2lyx
+\family default
+, or to use the
+\family sans

+The first thing you'll notice when you start up a new

+ This is also what's used in the output.
+ Think of this as a

+visual cue
+\begin_inset Quotes erd

+The next thing that becomes obvious is the changes to the paragraph environment

+ Most of the paragraph environments you're used to seeing are missing.

+\begin_layout Standard
+All five of the new paragraph environments are somewhat quirky due to inherent
+ limitiations in the current version of \SpecialChar LyX
+.
+ As I just mentioned, \SpecialChar LyX
+ forbids environments that begin with another environment.
+ To get around this, the
+\family sans
+Slide
+\family default
+ environment isn't a paragraph environment as described in the
+\emph on
+User's Guide
+\emph default
+.
+
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+You should consider
+\family sans
+Slide
+\family default

+\family sans

+\family sans

+\begin_inset Quotes eld

+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+
+\family sans
+Caption
+\family default
+,
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ but really begin a [and, if necessary, end the previous] paragraph environment.
+ Likewise, treat
+\family sans
+InvisibleText
+\family default
+ and
+\family sans
+VisibleText
+\family default
+ as
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+pseudo-commands.
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ These two perform some action.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+A common feature of all five environments,
+\family sans
+Slide
+\family default
+,
+\family sans
+Overlay
+\family default
+,
+\family sans
+Note
+\family default
+,
+\family sans
+InvisibleText
+\family default
+ and
+\family sans
+VisibleText

+\family default

+\family sans

+\family default
+,
+\family sans
+InvisibleText
+\family default

+\family sans
+VisibleText
+\family default

+ \SpecialChar LyX
+ completely ignores it.
+ In fact, you can leave these five environments completely empty.
+
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+While you don't
+\emph on
+have
+\emph default
+ to put any text after the rather long-ish label, you might want to.
+ This could be a short description of the contents of the
+\family sans
+Slide
+\family default
+, for example.
+ In that case, enter your descriptive comment and hit
+\family sans
+Return
+\family default
+ as you normally would.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+If, on the other hand, you don't want to enter any descriptive text, you'll
+ hit another \SpecialChar LyX
+ quirk.
+ \SpecialChar LyX
+, like nature, abhors a vacuum, and will not let you start a new paragraph
+ environment until you put something in the old one.
+ So, do this:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Itemize
+Start entering the text that will
+\emph on
+follow
+\emph default
+ the new

+

+\begin_layout Itemize

+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Itemize

+ Naturally, I'll describe all of the ways the

+ Filling in the contents, however, is up to you.

+\begin_inset space ~
+\end_inset
+
+
+\begin_inset CommandInset ref

+ The label for this environment/
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+pseudo-command
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ is an
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset

+ASCII line,
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ in cool blue, followed by the label,
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+NewSlide:
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+.
+ Any text or paragraph environments that follow this one go on the new slide.
+ It's that simple.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Slides are probably the only time you'll need to forcibly end pages in \SpecialChar LyX
+
+ (this can be specified in the
+\family sans
+Paragraph Layout
+\family default
+ dialog).
+ In fact, you'll want to, once you finish entering the contents of one slide.
+ If you've entered more text than can physically fit on a slide, the extra
+ overflows onto a new slide.
+ I don't recommend doing this, however, since the overflow slide won't have
+ any page number on it.
+ Furthermore, it may interfere with any
+\family sans
+Overlay
+\family default
+ you've made to accompany the oversized
+\family sans
+Slide
+\family default
+.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The
+\family sans
+Overlay
+\family default
+ and
+\family sans
+Note
+\family default
+ environments work the same way as the
+\family sans
+Slide
+\family default
+ environment.
+ They both create an
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+ASCII line
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ followed by a label [
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+NewOverlay:
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ and
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+NewNote:
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+, respectively].
+ The color is a stunning magenta instead of blue, and the
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+ASCII line
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ will look different, in style and in length.
+ The label fonts of all three also differ from one another.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+As with a
+\family sans
+Slide
+\family default
+, if the contents of a
+\family sans
+Note
+\family default
+ or
+\family sans
+Overlay
+\family default
+ exceed the physical size of a slide or sheet of paper, the extra will overflow
+ onto a new sheet.
+ Again, you should avoid this.
+ It defeats the whole purpose of
+\family sans
+Note
+\family default
+s and
+\family sans
+Overlay
+\family default
+s.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsubsection
+Using
+\family sans
+Overlay
+\family default
+ with
+\family sans
+Slide
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The idea behind an
+\family sans
+Overlay
+\family default
+ is a slide that sits atop another slide.
+ Perhaps you wish to discuss a figure on the main
+\family sans
+Slide
+\family default
+ before displaying the text associated with it.
+ One way to accomplish this is tape a flap of dark paper over the part of
+ the
+\family sans
+Slide
+\family default
+ you want to display later.
+ This method fails, however, if you wish to overlap one graph with another,
+ for example.
+ You would then have to fumble while speaking to align the two separate,
+ overlapping
+\family sans
+Slide
+\family default
+s to align the two graphs.
+ The use of an
+\family sans
+Overlay
+\family default
+ environment in both cases makes life much easier.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Each
+\family sans
+Overlay
+\family default
+ receives the page number of its
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+parent
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+
+\family sans

+\family default
+, appended by

+\begin_inset space ~
+\end_inset
+
+appended to the page number of the parent
+\family sans
+Slide
+\family default
+.
+
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ Clearly, you want the contents of both the
+\family sans
+Slide
+\family default
+ and the
+\family sans
+Overlay
+\family default
+ to each fit on a single physical slide! You should probably consider an
+
+\family sans
+Overlay
+\family default
+ as
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+part of
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ a
+\family sans
+Slide
+\family default
+.
+ Indeed, the \SpecialChar LyX
+
+\family sans
+slides
+\family default
+ class provides a visual cue for this: the label at the start of an
+\family sans
+Overlay
+\family default
+ is shorter than that at the start of a
+\family sans
+Slide
+\family default
+.
+ Lastly, when you generate printable output, you'll find alignment markers
+ in all four corners of both the
+\family sans
+Overlay
+\family default
+ page and its parent
+\family sans
+Slide
+\family default
+.
+ These will assist you in lining up the two physical slides.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The major problem in overlaying two slides is aligning the contents of the
+ two transparencies.
+ How much space should you leave for that graph on the second slide? Worse
+ still, what if you want a graph and a sentence on second slide, but there
+ is text on the main transparency that goes in between them? You could try
+ and insert vertical space of the right size.
+ The better way is to use
+\family sans
+InvisibleText
+\family default
+ and
+\family sans
+VisibleText
+\family default
+.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+As their names imply,
+\family sans
+InvisibleText
+\family default
+ and
+\family sans
+VisibleText
+\family default
+ are two command-like paragraph environments that make all subsequent text
+ invisible and visible, respectively.
+ Note from section
+\begin_inset space ~
+\end_inset
+
+
+\begin_inset CommandInset ref
+LatexCommand ref
+reference "sec:slideQuirk"
+
+\end_inset
+
+ that you don't place anything
+\emph on
+into
+\emph default
+ these two environments, however.
+ When you create an
+\family sans
+InvisibleText
+\family default
+, it inserts a centered, sky-blue label into the page reading
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+<Invisible Text Follows>
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+.
+ For paragraphs following this label, the parts of the
+\family sans
+Slide
+\family default
+ [or
+\family sans
+Overlay
+\family default
+; it doesn't matter which] where they would be contain instead blank space.
+
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+For
+\family sans
+VisibleText
+\family default
+, the corresponding centered label is
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+<Visible Text Follows>
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ in blazing green.
+ Paragraphs following this label behave normally.
+ Note that the beginning of a new
+\family sans
+Slide
+\family default
+,
+\family sans
+Overlay
+\family default
+, or
+\family sans
+Note
+\family default
+ automatically shuts off an
+\family sans
+InvisibleText
+\family default
+.
+ It's therefore not necessary to use
+\family sans
+VisibleText
+\family default
+ at the end of a
+\family sans
+Slide
+\family default
+.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+By now, it should be obvious how to create overlay transparencies using
+ the proper combination of
+\family sans
+InvisibleText
+\family default
+ and
+\family sans
+VisibleText
+\family default
+ on a
+\family sans
+Slide
+\family default
+ and
+\family sans
+Overlay
+\family default
+:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+Create a
+\family sans
+Slide
+\family default
+, including everything that will appear on it, whether on the main slide
+ or on the
+\family sans
+Overlay
+\family default
+.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+Before each figure or paragraph that will appear only on the
+\family sans
+Overlay
+\family default
+, insert an
+\family sans
+InvisibleText
+\family default
+ environment.
+ If necessary, insert a
+\family sans
+VisibleText
+\family default
+ environment after the
+\family sans
+Overlay
+\family default
+-only text.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+Start an
+\family sans
+Overlay
+\family default
+ immediately following the
+\family sans
+Slide
+\family default
+.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+Copy the contents of this
+\family sans
+Slide
+\family default
+ into the
+\family sans
+Overlay
+\family default
+.
