<screen><![CDATA[<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE slides PUBLIC "-//Norman Walsh//DTD Slides XML V3.0b1//EN"
                 "http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/slides/3.0b1/slides.dtd">

wrapper. Here's a typical example:</para>

<foil><title>Presentation Content</title>

<para>It's common for individual slides to consist of a single
bulleted or numbered list. However, the full range of <quote>block
level</quote> Simplified DocBook elements are avialable.</para>

</foil>
</foilgroup>

<foilgroup><title>Styling</title>

<para>How to transform a presentation.</para>

<foil><title>HTML</title>

<para>There are a lot of HTML options. When you publish your
presentation on the web, it's probably best to use one of the simpler,
more accessible styles. For your actual live presentation, you may
want to choose something fancier.</para>

</foil>

<foil><title>Plain HTML</title>

<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><ulink url="../default/"><filename>default.xsl</filename></ulink>
and
<ulink url="../plain/"><filename>plain.xsl</filename></ulink>
produce fairly simple presentations
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><ulink url="../tables/"><filename>tables.xsl</filename></ulink>
uses a table to show the navigation context (somewhat like the tabular
<ulink url="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/">Website</ulink> style)
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><ulink url="../vslides/"><filename>vslides.xsl</filename></ulink>
places navigation on the left side instead of the top and bottom
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><ulink url="../w3c/"><filename>w3c.xsl</filename></ulink>
produces slides that resemble the format used by the W3C for presentations
</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>

</foil>

<foil><title>Fancy HTML</title>

<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><ulink url="../frames1/frames.html"><filename>frames.xsl</filename></ulink>
uses frames. There are several options that you can apply:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><ulink url="../frames2/frames.html">overlay</ulink> uses CSS absolute positioning
to keep the navigation static on the pages (only works on recent browsers)
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><ulink url="../frames3/frames.html">multiframe</ulink> uses additional frames
to keep the navigation static on the pages
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><ulink url="../frames4/frames.html">dynamic.toc</ulink> uses JavaScript to keep
the table of contents and the current slide in sync (only works on recent browsers)
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><ulink url="../frames5/frames.html">active.toc</ulink> uses JavaScript to make
the table of context <quote>active</quote> so that you can open and close the foil
groups (only works on recent browsers)
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>These toc styles can be combined with
<ulink url="../frames6/frames.html">overlay</ulink> or <ulink url="../frames7/frames.html">multiframe</ulink>
</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</foil>

<foil><title>PDF</title>

<para>The <filename>fo-plain.xsl</filename> stylesheet produces XSL Formatting
Objects that can subsequently be turned into PDF.</para>

</foil>

</foilgroup>

<foilgroup><title>Presentation</title>

<para>How to customize and present a set of slides.</para>

<foil><title>Look And Feel</title>

<para>For HTML display, most of the actual
<quote>look-and-feel</quote> of the presentation is controlled by the CSS
stylesheet(s) used.</para>

</foil>

<foil><title>Presentation Tips</title>

<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>It's usually best if each slide is only one page (avoid scrolling).
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>If you'll be giving your presentation with a projector, make sure you
know what resolution you'll have available and test your presentation at that resolution.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Make your fonts bigger so the folks in the back of the room can read
your slides.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Test the equipment before your presentation begins. Really.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Speak more slowly. I always forget that one.
