\end_layout \begin_layout Standard Virtually everything that can appear in normal LaTeX, can also be on a slide. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard (Well, floats are an exception --- who would want them on a slide.) \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Additionally there are the paragraph styles: \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans SlideHeading, \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans SlideSubheading, \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans ListOfSlides, \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans SlideContents, \family default and \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans ProgressContents \family default . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard All of them can be found in the Style pull-down box. \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout --Separator-- \end_layout \begin_layout LandscapeSlide Text within the \family sans LandscapeSlide \family default environment will go on top of the slide as a standard paragraph. \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout SlideHeading What happens, when you want a List or a Heading first? \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Normally, LyX does not like empty paragraphs and it kills empty environments before you are able to nest something in them (if you don't insert an empty command or a note). \family typewriter seminar \family default . \family typewriter layout \family default tells LyX to leave an empty \family sans LandscapeSlide \family default or \family sans PortraitSlide \family default , so you don't need to use the above workaround. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The \family sans --Separator-- \family default paragraph after a slide is needed because LyX will normally merge two environme nts if they come immediately one after the other (i. \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset g. \begin_inset space \space{} \end_inset two Paragraphs in the \family sans LandscapeSlide \family default environment will go to one slide, if there is nothing else between.) \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout --Separator-- \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The seminar class puts everything that is not nested inside a \family sans Slide \family default environment on extra pages as \emph on notes \emph default (see slide \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sli:output-options" \end_inset for output options). \end_layout \begin_layout Standard There is no need for a \family sans --Separator-- \family default paragraph, if notes follow the slide (or if a \family sans Landscape Slide \family default is followed by a \family sans Portrait Slide \family default . \end_layout \begin_layout Section Outline \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Seminar defines additional content-listing commands, as the Table of Contents only lists \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset normal \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset headings and subheadings: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset CommandInset toc LatexCommand tableofcontents \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Slide contents \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The \family sans SlideContents \family default paragraph style is an analogue to the table of contents but lists only \family sans SlideHeading \family default s. It has problems with \family sans SlideSubheading \family default s, though which fail to show up in the list (seems to be a bug in \family typewriter slidesec.sty \family default ): \end_layout \begin_layout SlideContents \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection List of slides \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Analogue to a list of tables, the \family sans ListOfSlides \family default style lists all slides in your document (to produce a slide with the list, nest it in a \family sans ...Slide \family default paragraph): \end_layout \begin_layout ListOfSlides \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Progress Contents \end_layout \begin_layout Standard If you want to assure the audience, that the presentation is almost over, insert a slide with \family sans ProgressContents \family default : \end_layout \begin_layout LandscapeSlide \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout ProgressContents \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout --Separator-- \end_layout \begin_layout LandscapeSlide \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout SlideHeading Configuration \end_layout \begin_layout SlideSubHeading Output options \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sli:output-options" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The following options can be added to the \family sans Options \family default field in the menu \family sans Document\SpecialChar \menuseparator Settings\SpecialChar \menuseparator Document \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Class \family default : \end_layout \begin_layout Description slidesonly Only the slides are printed. \end_layout \begin_layout Description notesonly Only the notes are printed \end_layout \begin_layout Description notes Both notes and slides are printed. \end_layout \begin_layout Description notesonly* Produces a slide marker for each slide environment \end_layout \begin_layout Description article Print as article (two-up). \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Newpage newpage \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout SlideSubHeading Preamble commands \end_layout \begin_layout Description \backslash onlyslides{8,9,11} print only slides number 8, 9 and 11 (e. \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset g. \begin_inset space \space{} \end_inset color plots), \end_layout \begin_layout Description \backslash notslides{4,8,9,11} don't print these slides. \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout --Separator-- \end_layout \begin_layout LandscapeSlide \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout SlideSubHeading Fancier formatting \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The LaTeX preamble is the right place for many many options to get fancier formatting, e. \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset g.: \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize different font sets, e. \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset g. \begin_inset space \space{} \end_inset the Iwona fonts: \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout LyX-Code \backslash usepackage{iwona} \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Itemize fancy frames: \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout LyX-Code \backslash usepackage{fancybox} \end_layout \begin_layout LyX-Code \backslash setlength{ \backslash slideframewidth}{1pt} \end_layout \begin_layout LyX-Code \backslash slideframe[ \backslash setlength{ \backslash shadowsize}{1pt}]{shadow} \end_layout \end_deeper \end_deeper \begin_layout --Separator-- \end_layout \begin_layout LandscapeSlide \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout SlideHeading Troubleshooting \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize There is a bug in \family typewriter seminar.cls \family default making it fail with the \family typewriter a4paper \family default option.
