'''Note: some changes have been added recently to the module, so that this and the following site have to be updated.'''
Please see [[http://cfd.homelinux.org/tex/ Raw steps module]] for the latest version.
Waiting for someone Even if you are not going to use the existing presentation styles (you're strongly encouraged to make your own anyway), these are wonderful examples to write something about them .learn some new techniques.See [[Presentation Styles]] for a list of available styles.

general introduction to making presentations (still many parts missing)

==Official modulesUsing existing presentation styles ==
You can usually change background color or make minor changes to the existing style in a pretty simple way (I hope it will be described in [[Presentation Styles]] how to do that one day). You may have to override some font definitions used for a specific style if you don't have the font installed. == Making your own presentation style == Building a presentation in ConTeXt is not much different than preparing an usual ConTeXt document, with some exceptions. If you're using an existing style (like ''pre-funny'' in the example above), most definitions described below are already done for you. <texcode>\usemodule[pre-general]</texcode>will include some [[source:s-pre-00.tex|general definitions]] that you may find useful or not. === Setting screen dimensions === <texcode>\setuppapersize[S6][S6]</texcode>will set the proper document ratio (3:2) to fit the computer screen. === Full-screen mode === <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. === Hyperlinks, buttons & navigation === {{todo|write something about them}} === Including Graphics === Everything works just the same way as graphics in usual documents. But if a presentation is your first document, let's repeat it once more here: <texcode>\externalfigure[name][width=...]%% (probably surrounded by \placefigure)</texcode> === Graphics with Metafun === {{todo|how to make page-dependant graphics}} === Animation === See [[Animation]] (page is still under construction). == Additional modules == * The [[RawSteps]] module enables you to build a presentation step-by-step without the usage of JavaScript == Examples of presentations == See also [[Sample documents]] {{Todo|collect some + some extremely simple}} * '''Introduction to ConTeXt''' (in French) by Denis Roegel at Gutenberg meeting in 2002 ([http://www.loria.fr/~roegel/TeX/context-gut2002.tex tex], [http://www.loria.fr/~roegel/TeX/context-gut2002.pdf pdf]) <i>(please add a link to the page from where these two documents are linked to if you find it)</i> ==Some Ideas==
Here's an Interesting post, written by Maurice Diamantini:
* 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.
===Working Example (for the ones not satisfied with \presentationstep)===
Here are some simple macros almost fully satisfying the idea above with [[SlideWithSteps]], shared with the others by Otared Kavian:
