%% This is part of OpTeX project, see http://petr.olsak.net/optex

\slideshow %------------------------------------------------------------
\tit \OpTeX/ slides
\subtit Petr Olšák\nl petr@olsak.net
\subtit\rm \url{http://petr.olsak.net/optex}
\pg; %------------------------------------------------------------------
\sec Basics
* The the simple document looks like:
\begtt
\slides % style initialized
%\wideformat % 16:9
\slideshow % partially uncovering ideas
\sec First slide
text
\pg;
\sec Second slide
text
\pg.
\endtt
* If `\slideshow` is missing or commented out then
\"partially uncovering ideas" (see later) are deactivated. It is useful
for printing.
* The `\slideshow` must be the last command in the declaration part of the
document.
* By default, the slides have A5 landscape format.
You can declare `\wideformat`. Then the height is the same
but width is 263\,mm, i.\,e.~the ratio width:height is 16:9.
\pg; %------------------------------------------------------------------
\sec Title slide
* Title of the document (used at the first slide) is created
by `\tit Title` (terminated by end of line).
* The `\subtit Author name etc.`\ (terminated by end of line)
can be used after `\tit` at the first slide.
* You can use `\nl` for new line in paragraphs or titles.
\sec Default design
* The paragraph texts are ragged right.
* Titles, subtitles and section titles are centered.
* The `\sec` and `\secc` are printed without numbers.
* Paragraph indentation is zero. There is a little vertical space between
paragraphs.
* The Heros font family (aka Helvetica) is initialized as default.\nl
Sans-serif FiraMath font for math typesetting is used.
* The items in lists are started by blue square (`\type X` and `\type x` ).
\pg; %------------------------------------------------------------------
\sec One slide (one page)
* Top level item list is activated by default. The asterisk `*` opens
new item at the top level list.
* Nested items lists (second and more level) should be created in
the `\begitems`\dots`\enditems` environments.
* Each slide (page) must be terminated by `\pg;` command.
* Lats slide must be terminated by `\pg.` command or by `\bye`.
\begtt
\sec My ideas
* First idea
* Second idea
\begitems
* First sub-idea
* Second sub-idea
\enditems
* Final idea
\endtt
* Note: each page is processed in a group, so: put your own definitions
(if~exist) before `\slideshow` or use `\global` assignment.
\pg; %------------------------------------------------------------------
\sec Partially uncovering ideas
* The control sequence `\pg` must be followed by:\pg+
\begitems
* the character `;` -- normal next page,\pg+
* the character `.` -- the end of the document,\pg+
* the character `+` -- next page keeps the same text
and a next text is added (usable for partially uncovering of ideas).\pg+
\enditems
* Summary:
\begtt
\pg; ... next page
\pg. ... the end of the document
\pg+ ... uncover next text at the same page
\endtt
\pg+
* When `\slideshow` is not declared then `\pg+` is deactivated.\pg+
* The `\pg+` creates a new \"virtual page", so the current paragraph is
terminated.
\pg; %------------------------------------------------------------------
\sec Example with partially uncovering ideas
The previous page was created by:
\begtt
\sec Partially uncovering ideas
* The control sequence `\pg` must be followed by:\pg+
\begitems
* the character `.` -- normal next page,\pg+
* the character `;` -- the end of the document,\pg+
* the character `+` -- next ... \pg+
\enditems
* Summary
...
* When `\slideshow` is not declared
then `\pg+` is deactivated.\pg+
* The `\pg+` creates a new \"virtual page",
so the current paragraph is terminated.
\pg;
\endtt
\pg; %------------------------------------------------------------------
\sec Notes
* When `\slideshow` is active then you cannot reference sections by
hyperlinked `\ref`. Only `\pgref` works (and goes to the last layer
of the referenced page).
* If the text overfull the page (slide) then it follows to the next page without
saying explicitly `\pg;`. But `\slideshow` cannot work in such case.\pg+
\sec More about design
* You can use `\backgroundpic{<image-file>}` for putting an image to the backgroud.
* You can re-declare `\footline` or re-define internal macros for design as
you wish.
* You can put the images or text wherever using `\putimege` or `\puttext`
macros...
\pg; %------------------------------------------------------------------
\sec Putting images and texts wherever
* `\puttext <right> <up> {<text>}` puts a <text> to the desired place:
It moves the current point <right> and <up>, puts the <text> and returns
back, so the typesetting continues from previous position. The parameters
<right> and <up> are dimensions. For example
\begtt
\puttext 0mm 50mm {\Red HELLO}
\endtt
\puttext 0mm 50mm {\Red HELLO}
prints red HELLO, as shown here.\pg+
* `\putpic <right> <up> <width> <height> {<image-file>}`
puts the image with desired <width> and <height> at the position like
`\puttext` puts the text.
\putpic .8\hsize 20mm 30mm \nospec {op-ring.png}
* The ring above is the result of
\begtt
\putpic .8\hsize 20mm 30mm \nospec {op-ring.png}
\endtt
%
used at beginning of this paragraph.\pg+
* Use `\nospec` for <width> or <height> of the image if you don't want to specify both
dimensions (because you don't want to change the image aspect ratio).
\pg; %------------------------------------------------------------------
\sec Limits of the \code{\\pg+} sequence
* The \code{\\pg+} sequence (partially uncovering ideas) cannot be used inside
a~group.
* The exception is the nested environment `\begitems...\enditems`.
* The `\pg+` always finalizes the current paragraph.
It is impossible to hide only a part of horizontal mode.\pg+
\sec The \code{\\layers}\,...\code{\\endlayers} environment
If you really need something unsupported by `\pg+` then you can use
\begtt \catcode`\<=13
\layers <number>
<layered text>
\endlayers
\endtt
* The <layered text> should include conditions like
`\ifnum\layernum...` or `\ifcase\layernum`.
It is printed <number> times to more slide pages (layers) with the same
surrounding text. See next page...
\pg; %------------------------------------------------------------------
\sec Example of \code{\\layers} environment
The `\slides` style provides a shortcut `\use` and a macro `\pshow` (means
partially show):
\begtt
\def\use#1#2{\ifnum\layernum#1\relax#2\fi}
\def\pshow#1{\use{=#1}\Red \use{<#1}\Transparent \ignorespaces}
\endtt
The `{\pshow<num> <text>}` prints <text> in Red when current layer is equal
to <num> or it prints <text> normally when current layers is greater than <num>.
The transparent (invisible) font is used in other cases.
The following dance:
\layers 3
{\pshow2 Second text.} {\pshow3 Third text.} {\pshow1 First text.}
\endlayers
\pg+
was generated by
\begtt
\layers 3
{\pshow2 Second text.} {\pshow3 Third text.} {\pshow1 First text.}
\endlayers
\endtt
\pg+
* The <layered text> is treated as macro parameter. So, you cannot use verbatim
nor `\sec` titles here. Maximal one `\layers` environment can be per one
page (terminated by `\pg+` or `\pg;` or `\pg.`
\pg; %------------------------------------------------------------------
\sec Comparison \OpTeX/ slides with Beamer\fnote{\url{http://www.ctan.org/pkg/beamer}}
The \LaTeX{} package {\bf\Blue Beamer} gives much more features and many themes
are prepared for Beamer, {\bf\Red but}
\pg+
* the user of Beamer is forced to {\em program} his/her document using
dozens of \code{\\begin{foo}} and \code{\\end{foo}} and many another
programming constructions,\pg+
* plain \TeX{} gives you a possibility to simply
{\em write} your document with minimal markup. The result is more compact.
You can concentrate to the contents of your document, not to the
programming syntax.\pg+
* User needs to read 250 pages of doc for understanding Beamer,\pg+
* on the other hand, you need to read only ten
slides\fnote{this eleventh slide isn't counted}
and you are ready to use {\bf\Blue\OpTeX/ slides}.
