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
interactive screen presentations as well.
<texcode>\setuppapersize[S6][S6]</texcode>
</texcode>
Moreover, on slides, you want TeX to be tolerant with its horizontal space
</texcode>
<texcode>\setupinteractionscreen[option=max]</texcode>
will cause launcing the PDF document in full-screen mode. In Acrobat you can use CTRL-L to switch between normal and full-screen mode.
{{todo|write something about them}}
Here is a small example showing how to include hyperlinks: <texcode>\setupcolors[state=start]\setupinteraction[state=start,color= Including Graphics middlered]\useURL [garden][http://contextgarden.net]\starttextThe \from[garden] site is useful.\stoptext</texcode> It looks like this (in a PDF viewer the red link is clickable and should call up a browser on the link when you click it): <context>\setupcolors[state=start]\setupinteraction[state=start,color=middlered]\useURL [garden][http://contextgarden.net]\starttextThe \from[garden] site is useful.\stoptext</context> If you want an alternative text to show up in the clickable area, use the fourth argument to \useURL, like this:<texcode>\setupcolors[state=start]\setupinteraction[state=start,color=middlered]\useURL [garden][http://contextgarden.net][][Context garden]\starttextThe \from[garden] is useful.\stoptext</texcode> It looks like this: <context>\setupcolors[state=start]\setupinteraction[state=start,color=middlered]\useURL [garden][http://contextgarden.net][][Context garden]\starttext The \from[garden] is useful.\stoptext</context> The same technique can be used to add navigation buttons. [[Symbols/nav]] provides the symbol. <texcode>\def\fp{\goto{\symbol[firstpage]}[page(1)]}\setupheadertexts[\fp]</texcode> We can also add the button to the footer with [[Command/setupfootertexts]]. <context>\setupcolors[state=start]\setupinteraction[state=start]\def\fp{\goto{\symbol[firstpage]}[page(1)]}\setupheadertexts[\fp]\starttextLorem ipsum dolor sit amet.\stoptext</context>

See [[Animation]] (page is still under construction).
If you compile a document with these settings, you have something that you
</texcode>
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
<texcode>
\setupfootertexts[{\color[white]{\tfxx \midaligned{\rlap{\currentdate} \hfill TITLE HERE\hfill \llap{YOUR NAME HERE}}}}]
</texcode>
Don't forget to put
the title of your presentation...).
If your audience is able to remember these details, but you suspect they may
{\interactionbar[alternative=f,width=\makeupwidth,height=1ex]}
\stopinteractionmenu
</texcode>
Again, don't forget to put
Finally, a few things about the placement of pictures. This can be done with
the [[{{cmd:framed|\framed]] }} command. You probably have to try and adjust
different parameters to get exactly what you need, but here's something that
worked for me:
In the case of wide pictures, it's fairly easy. You will want them midaligned,
space between the top margin and the footer. I want the text accompanying the
picture opposite it, centered horizontally and vertically. This can be done
with a [[{{cmd:|startcombination|combination]]}}:
<texcode>
\setupcombinations[distance=0pt]
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}} or <code>texexec --pdfcombine</code> To use {{cmd|combinepages}}, suppose that your presentation is <code>slides.tex</code>. Create a file <code>handout.tex</code> with the following content <texcode>\setuppapersize [A4][A4] % or [A4,landscape][A4,landscape] \setuplayout [header=0pt,footer=1cm, backspace=1cm,topspace=1cm, width=middle,height=middle] \setupfootertexts [presentation---\currentdate\space---\space\pagenumber] \starttext \combinepages[slides][nx=2,ny=3,frame=on]\stoptext</texcode>This will give you 2*3 slides on A4 paper. = Additional modules ==
* The [[RawSteps]] module enables you to build a presentation step-by-step without the usage of JavaScript
* <s>[[Stepper]] which is buit in ConTeXt.</s>Broken
* The simple slides module [http://github.com/adityam/simple-slides/tree/master simple-slides] serves too.
* [[Presentation effects]], [[Presentation Styles]], [[SlideWithSteps]]
* See in [[Using Graphics| using graphics]] how to use movies.

If you're interested in presentations, your first stop should be the [http://www.pragma-ade.com/ pragma website]. You can download pdfs with the documented source-code of 18 presentation modules at http://www.pragma-ade.com/dir/general/sources/. To get a first impression of the visual appearance that the prebuilt styles offer, have a look at http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-pre.pdf (big document, ~ 3 MB!).

Here's an Interesting post, written by Maurice Diamantini:
[[http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20041103.074705.2f196f69.html]]
* 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:
