present.tex
Version 2.0, October 2010

Some simple macros for preparing presentations in TeX
Copyright 2010 Matthias Meister
Distributed under the LaTeX Project Public License

present.tex
holds the macros, and is simply \input in a file

HowToTalkTeX.pdf
is a presentation on present.tex done with the macros

HowToTalkTeX.tex
is the corresponding source; together with the pdf it 
is an example of how the macros are used to prepare a talk.

Required: pdftex

The macros in present.tex allow the user to:
+) set a colour for the background and for the text
+) set background images
+) include links between parts of the presentation
+) include weblinks
+) include links to local files
+) include images

The macros as such are simple enough so that users should
not find it difficult to adapt them to their needs. 

A documentation for pdftex and the PDF-Reference might 
occasionally be useful in the context of those macros 
which have PDF-code in their replacement text.

-----------------------

Changes with respect to version 1.0:

*) An image can be set on the slide background.
*) Added control word \rm for using roman type 
   at correct size within math.
*) Rewritten colour support; miniltx.tex, color.tex, 
   color.sty no longer required. As a result, control
   sequences for handling colour have changed.
