After using ConTeXt for a while, many users begin to think about producing
This section of the wiki wants to get you started with presentations in
ConTeXt. There's lots of <s>amazing </s> stuff in the distribution already, such as<s>truly amazing </s> 20-year-old [[Presentation Styles|prebuilt styles]] for presentations which
you can simply use by typing, e.g.
</texcode>
The styles are fully documented, and you can learn <s>amazing </s> tricks by looking at
the source and the documentation. However, for beginners, it might be easier to
start with a very basic presentation and then slowly add more fancy stuff. This

Many information are included in this [http://www.tug.org/pracjourn/2006-2/schmitz/schmitz.pdf article] by Thomas(2006). Aditya Mahajan maintains a step by step instruction about [https://github.com/adityam/context-slides-example on how to create slides in ConTeXt] in 40 commits (2020).

This looks better.
Next up: colors. Now I'm aware that the use of colors is an immensely personal
want.
Now when you look at your slides, you will certainly feel that there's room for
such as "p,0" or "p,4."
Next, the bottom of our slides. If the audience is apt to forget your name, the
the title of your presentation...).
If your audience is able to remember these details, but you suspect they may
worked for me:
In the case of wide pictures, it's fairly easy. You will want them midaligned,
Sometimes one wants to give a handout of the presentation, with multiple slides on one page. It is easy to do this using <{{cmd>|combinepages</cmd> }} or <code>texexec --pdfcombine</code>
To use <{{cmd>|combinepages</cmd>}}, suppose that your presentation is <code>slides.tex</code>. Create a file <code>handout.tex</code> with the following content
<texcode>
This will give you 2*3 slides on A4 paper.

* The simple slides module [http://github.com/adityam/simple-slides/tree/master simple-slides] serves too.

* In general, I seem to have much more luck with advi then with xdvi for doing slides. It supports all kinds of interactive things. I've been told it can even do plugins (movies and such), but they only have a LaTeX package to support that.

Here are some simple macros almost fully satisfying the idea above with [[SlideWithSteps]], shared with the others by Otared Kavian:
[[http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20041103.083500.43ac3121.html]]. David Munger also derived an alternative [[http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20041106.080646.2544e4f3.html]] from Otared Kavian's work. Bateni has ported that work to MkiV [[https://github.com/bateni/rawsteps-mkiv]]
