+Elpres is a simple class for electronic presentations to be shown on a screen
+or a beamer. Elpres is derived from article.cls and may be used with LaTeX or
+pdfLaTeX.
+
+The elpres class requires the packages: ifthen, fancyhdr, geometry.
+
+For enhanced options, the packages ragged2e, overlays, wallpaper, eso-pic,
+footmisc and hyperref are useful.

+\textsf{Elpres} is a simple class for presentations to be shown on screen or
+beamer. It is derived from \LaTeX's \texttt{article} class. \textsf{Elpres}
+is primarily intended to be used with PDF\LaTeX{} or with \LaTeX,
+\texttt{dvips} and Ghostview/Ghostscript. The default ``virtual paper size''
+of documents produced by this class: width=128mm, height=96mm corresponds to a
+4:3 aspect ratio. Other aspect ratios for widescreen monitors may be selected
+by class options. \textsf{Elpres} requires that the \texttt{ifthen},
+\texttt{fancyhdr} and \texttt{geometry} packages are available on the system.
+Enhancements to \texttt{elpres} are easily made available by other packages,
+these include overlay support for incremental slides (package
+\texttt{overlays}) hypertext elements (\texttt{hyperref} package) and slides
+with a background from a bitmap (\texttt{wallpaper}, \texttt{eso-pic}
+packages).
\section{Installation}
Copy \texttt{elpres.cls} into a directory, where your \LaTeX-system can find
-it.
+it and update the files database\footnote{e.\,g. by using the

-The package provides a ``vertically compressed'' \texttt{itemize}-environment:
+The use of footnotes on slides is often problematic, if they cannot be
+avoided, the \texttt{footmisc} package is recommended: the \texttt{perpage}

-\label{secHandout}
+\subsection{Incremental slides (overlays)}
+
+\label{secOverlay}
+
+If the contents of slides are to be made visible step
+by step this can be achieved by a series of output PDF or (PS) files (carrying
+the same page number) usually called \emph{overlays}. It may also be of
+interest to change a highlighting color in a series of overlays. This is most
+easily done by using the \texttt{overlays} package written by Andreas Nolda
+together with \texttt{elpres}.
-If you wish to create a handout from your presentation, you should create a
-PostScipt version of your presentation and convert ot with the
-\texttt{psnup}-tool. This is possible, if you create your presentation as
-\texttt{.ps} file from a \texttt{.dvi}-file with \texttt{dvips}. If your
-primary version is a pdf-file, e.\,g. created by pdf\LaTeX, either
+To generate a series of four overlays sequentially showing four lines of a
+list:
\begin{enumerate}
- \item convert the pdf-file with the command \texttt{pdf2ps} (part of the
- ghostscript package)
- \item or convert it with Acrobat.
+ \item load the \texttt{overlays} package in the preamble
+ \item put a \texttt{psli} or \texttt{rsli} slide environment into an
+ \texttt{overlays} (or \texttt{fragileoverlays}) environment
+ \item enter the number of overlays as the first parameter to the
+ \texttt{overlays} environment
+ \item enter text contents with the \texttt{visible} command with the range
+ of overlays showing this text content
\end{enumerate}
+A simple example:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ % to be added in preamble
+ \usepackage{overlays}
+ ...
+ \begin{overlays}{4}
+ \begin{psli}[Title of slide]
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \visible{1-4}{\item first item of list}
+ \visible{2-4}{\item second list item}
+ \visible{3-4}{\item 3rd list item}
+ \visible{4}{\item final list item}
+ \end{itemize}
+ \end{psli}
+ \end{overlays}
+ ...
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The following example uses the \texttt{alert} command to highlight lines
+sequentially:
-The following command creates a handout with four slides on one page with the
-\texttt{psnup}-command line program%
-\footnote{A win32-version of this tool can be obtained from the website
-\url{http://people.freenet.de/vkiefel/compiled-SW.html}. \texttt{Psnup} may
-be bundled to your \TeX/\LaTeX{} distribution}.
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \begin{overlays}{4}
+ \begin{psli}[Title of slide]
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \alert{1}{\item first item of list}
+ \alert{2}{\item second list item}
+ \alert{3}{\item 3rd list item}
+ \alert{4}{\item final list item}
+ \end{itemize}
+ \end{psli}
+ \end{overlays}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The ``hidden'' text contents are written by \texttt{overlays} in the same
+color as the background, default is white. If you use a different background
+color, you have to change the color of the hidden text as well by assigning the
+background color to the color name \texttt{background} (understood by the
+\texttt{overlays} package). In the following example you define a light
+yellow as background:
\begin{verbatim}
- psnup -4 -H96mm -W128mm -m15mm -b6mm old.ps new.ps
+ % (in the preamble)
+ \definecolor{myyellow}{rgb}{0.96,0.98,0.72} % define color
+ \definecolor{background}{named}{myyellow} % color assigned to
+ % hidden text
+ \pagecolor{myyellow} % color of slide background
\end{verbatim}
-Details of the command line options can
-be found in the short documentation of \texttt{psnup}. You may print
-\texttt{new.ps} with \texttt{ghostview} or \texttt{gsview32/ghostview}.
+
+For more details on \texttt{overlays}, see the documentation of the package.

+
+If you wish to generate a handout from your presentation with more than one
+pages on a printed page, you may process a PDF presentation file with
