+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{Name of the game}
+ \begin{description}
+ \item[\TeX]{typesetting system developed by
+ \textsc{Donald E. Knuth} (Stanford University) to
+ create beautiful documents, especially those
+ containing maths. \TeX\ is free software with
+ copyright vested in the American Mathematical
+ Society.}
+ \item[\LaTeX]{\TeX -macroprocessor written by \textsc{Leslie
+ Lamport}, which implements a markup-language (similar: HTML, XML). Users can
+ concentrate on the structure of their document rather than on
+ formatting.}
+ \end{description}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{Typographic design}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item{craft that needs to be learned}
+ \item{not about esthetics but about function: Books are
+ read, not displayed in a museum}
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\subsection{Advantages and disadvantages}
+
+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{Advantages}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item{Several professional styles are available that
+ make documents look ``like printed''. Changing
+ style requires changing one single line in the
+ document, consistency is ensured.}
+ \item{High quality math typesetting}
+ \item{Only a few commands to define the structure of
+ text, no knowledge of typography or book design
+ required.}
+ \item{Complex scientific documents can be created
+ automatically:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item{bibliography}
+ \item{index}
+ \item{crossreferences}
+ \item{table of contents, lists of figures,
+ tables etc.}
+ \item{...}
+ \end{itemize} }
+ \item{Operating-system independent}
+ \item{Long-term storage of documents: ASCII rather
+ than binary}
+ \item{Free software with source code available: Errors
+ are corrected rapidly}
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{Disadvantages}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item{Learning curve}
+ \item{Major changes in layout may require rewriting the
+ style file (blessing in disguise)}
+ \item{One gets an eye for all the bad documents out
+ there}
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\subsection{Resources}
+
+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{Resources}
+ \begin{description}
+ \item[Software]{\href{www.ctan.org}{\texttt{\alert{www.ctan.org}}}, automatically selects nearest server }

+ \item[Introduction]{l2short available in various languages}
+ \item[Literature]{The \LaTeX -companion (\textsc{Mittelbach}
+ \textit{et al}, 2004)}

+\section{Structure of a \LaTeX\ document}
+
+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{Boxes and glue}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item{Box (letter) + Glue (space) + Box + ... = larger
+ Box (word)}

+ paragraphs and paragraphs pages}
+ \item{Glue can shrink and expand within limits}

+\subsection{Special characters}
+
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+ \frametitle{Input characters}
+ Some characters have special meaning in \TeX , if you need

+
+ \vspace{5mm}
+ \begin{tabular}{lll}
+ $\backslash$~~ & start command & {\color{darkgreen}\verb+$\backslash$+} \\

+\subsection{Hypens \& Cie}
+
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+ \frametitle{Hypen, minus ...}
+ A horizontal line can mean a lot of things, depending on
