\begin{psli}[\ticolor{Title of first page}]
This is an example of a \LaTeX\ \texttt{itemize} list 

\begin{itemize}
   \item first line in an itemized list
   \item second line in an itemized list
   \item third line in an itemized list
\end{itemize}


\end{psli}

\begin{psli}[\ticolor{Title of second page\footnote{footnotes are often
      not a good idea for a presentation}}]
% \raggedright
The second page with nested, ``vertically compressed'' lists using the
\texttt{citemize} and \texttt{cenumerate} environments.

\begin{citemize}
   \item first line in an itemized list
   \item second line in an itemized list
   \begin{cenumerate}
      \item first line of numbered list
      \item second line of numbered list
   \end{cenumerate}
   \item final line in itemized list\footnote{\dots\ it is therefore
       useful to write comments into a single footnote paragraph in order
       to save space}
\end{citemize}


{\small For footnotes, the \texttt{footmisc} package, providing the
  options \texttt{perpage} and \texttt{symbol} is recommended. \par}
\end{psli}


\begin{psli}[\ticolor{Title of third page}]

  \begin{cdescription}
\item[environment name:] \texttt{cdescription}, comparable to
    \LaTeX s \texttt{description} environment
   \item[used for:] vertically compressed lists with small ``titles''
\end{cdescription}

\end{psli}

\begin{rsli}
A final page with freely arranged text and
graphics using the \texttt{rsli} environment\footnote{References to the
  source of figures or tables may be added as footnotes}
