\layout Abstract
LyX and FoilTeX combine to provide a powerful presentation package for creating
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
foils
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
also known as slides and overhead transparencies.
\layout Foilhead
This is a Foilhead
\layout Standard
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed
\layout Standard
\backslash
hrule height 3pt
\end_inset
\layout Standard
A Foilhead starts a new foil.
A
\emph on
short
\emph default
version is also provided that reduces the separation between the Foilhead
and the body of the foil.
Almost all the environments found in other classes are also supported.
\layout Itemize
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed
\layout Standard
\backslash
zerolistvertdimens{}
\end_inset
The new Itemize Bullet Selection popup
\begin_deeper
\layout Itemize
is tailor-made for use with the foils class
\begin_deeper
\layout Itemize
allowing you to select the bullet used
\begin_deeper
\layout Itemize
at each of the four levels of the Itemize environment
\end_deeper
\end_deeper
\end_deeper
\layout Itemize
NOTE: to get the full capabilities of the Itemize Bullet Selection popup
read the Special Tools manual and the ItemizeBullets.lyx file included with
the examples.
\layout Itemize
NOTE 2: To get your list spacing small like this use the FoilTeX command:
\family typewriter
\backslash
zerolistvertdimens{}
\family default
set as TeX at the start of the first item.
\layout ShortFoilhead
This is a ShortFoilhead
\layout Standard
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed
\layout Standard
\backslash
hrule height 3pt
\end_inset
\layout Standard
The foils class has been extended to provide two additional bullet-lists.
These lists are namely:
\layout TickList
TickList
\layout Standard
and
\layout CrossList
CrossList
\layout Standard
These two lists were added because the listing of do's and don'ts or good
and bad are relatively common in foils.
Providing a dedicated paragraph style for these occasions should allow
faster entry and simplify interaction with LyX.
\layout Rotatefoilhead
Rotatefoilhead
\layout Standard
\backslash
hrule height 3pt
\layout Itemize
Create landscape foils by using Rotatefoilhead
\layout Itemize
Note that if you are viewing this with xdvi the page will appear to overrun
the page dimensions because it xdvi doesn't rotate the text
\layout Itemize
If you view this document using ghostview or something similar then the
page should appear rotated.
If not then you probably don't have the necessary dvips driver.
\layout Definition*
There are also several environments specially designed for presenting Theorems,
Lemmas, Corollaries, Propositions, Proofs and Definitions.
These are available as numbered or unnumbered environments.
\layout ShortRotatefoilhead
ShortRotateFoilhead
\layout Standard
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed
\layout Standard
\backslash
hrule height 3pt
\end_inset
\layout Itemize
Again the short version reduces the space below the heading
\layout Itemize
Another way to control the amount of separation is to adjust the length
in the preamble.
This will affect both the normal and short versions of foilhead and rotatefoilh
ead.
For example,
\newline
\family typewriter
\backslash
setlength{
\backslash
foilheadskip}{-0.5in}
\family default
\newline
will reduce the spacing by 0.5 inches.
Other units include mm (millimeters) and pt (points).
\layout Itemize
The
\emph on
short
\emph default
versions of the foilheads reduce the separation by 0.5 inches (approximately
12.5mm).
\layout ShortFoilhead
Tricky Proofs
\layout Standard
\begin_inset ERT

\layout Standard
\backslash

\end_inset
\layout Lemma*
Several consecutive paragraphs of type
\emph on

\emph default

\emph default

Definition

\emph default
or the starred versions of these are part of the same environment.
\layout Lemma*
As you can see, we are still in the same lemma.
\layout Standard
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed
\layout Standard
%
\end_inset
\layout Lemma*
To force this second Lemma straight after the first it's necessary to add
some dividing text or as I've done in this case separate the two by inserting
a
\emph on
TeX
\emph default
inset that simply contains a
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
%
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
This is simply a comment character in LaTeX but the insertion of the LaTeX
paragraph is sufficient to fool LyX into correctly handling the multiple
environments.
\layout Lemma*
NOTE: You only have this problem with multiple paragraphs of the same type
\emph on
not
\emph default
with different types such as a Proof followed by a Theorem.

Both tables and figures are supported in Foils however floats don't float
instead they appear exactly where they appear in the text.

Headers and Footers
\layout Standard
\begin_inset ERT

\layout Standard
\backslash

\end_inset
\layout Standard
FoilTeX provides some powerful header and footer capabilities
\begin_inset Foot
collapsed true
\layout Standard
You can also use the standard footnotes like this one.
\end_inset
that are best set in the preamble although they may be set at any point
in a document.
If you want to change these settings in the document the best place to
do so is at the very top of a foil ie.
straight after the foilhead.
\layout Standard
The left-footer is controlled by two commands:
\family typewriter
\backslash
MyLogo{}
\family default
and
\family typewriter
\backslash
Restriction{}
\family default
.
The first is meant to allow you to include a graphic logo on your foils
and defaults to
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
-Typeset by FoilTeX-
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
While the second is meant to provide a classification for the audience
eg.
Confidential.
\layout Standard
The remaining corners are controlled by:
\layout Standard
\family typewriter
\backslash
rightfooter{}
\family default
-- which defaults to page numbers
\layout Standard
\family typewriter
\backslash
rightheader{}
\layout Standard
\family typewriter
\backslash
leftheader{}
\layout Foilhead

\layout Standard
Your LaTeX distribution should include some documentation on FoilTeX.
There are many more features in FoilTeX than those described here.
For example, FoilTeX can automatically place a horizontal rule between
the headers and all foilheads, and between the body and the footers.
