\section{Features}
\begin{itemize}
  \item Uses only standard \LaTeX commands of
    special commands like slidetex. 
    \begin{enumerate}
      \item \emph{Create slides directly from a paper:}
	Copy a few line to the preamble of your paper's tex file,
	delete or abbreviate what you don't like to
	have on your slides and you are ready to go.
      \item \emph{Create a paper form your slides:} Take the \LaTeX code 
	from your slides. Build some
	pretty sentences from your bullet points and it's (almost) an award
	winning paper.
    \end{enumerate}
  \item Directly produces slides in pdf format:
    \begin{enumerate}
      \item \emph{Slides} with slide index 
	for presentation with Acrobat Reader, xpdf, evince,\dots
      \item \emph{Handouts} with 2 or 4 slides per page.
    \end{enumerate}
\end{itemize}

\section{Getting started}

\LARGE
\begin{enumerate}
\item Make a copy of \verb+slides.tex+, e.g, \verb+mycopy.tex+.
\item Adapt the first line in the \verb+Makefile+ accordingly. 
\item Edit \verb+mycopy.tex+.
\item Create slides with \verb+make+ or \verb+pdflatex mycopy.tex+.
\item Create handouts with \verb+make 2+ or \verb+make 4+.
\end{enumerate}

\section{Starting a new slide}

\begin{enumerate}
\item A new slide starts with a section command \\
\verb+\section{A new Slide}+
\item You can use nearly all \LaTeX-commands on your slides:
\small
\begin{itemize}
\item Enumerate, itemize, description
\item Mathematical Mode: $e=mc^2$
\item Verbatim: \verb+\blabla+
\item Font sizes: \scriptsize scriptsize, \tiny tiny, \small small, 
\normalsize normalsize, \large large, \Large Large, \LARGE LARGE, 
\huge huge
\small
\item Colors: \textcolor{Red}{Red,} \textcolor{Blue}{Blue,} \textcolor{Green}{Green,} 
\item Emphasizing: \verb+\emph{Important}+ produces \emph{Important}
\item tabulars, figures \dots
\end{itemize}
\end{enumerate}

\section{Automatic spacing for lists}

\begin{itemize}
\item
automatic spacing tries to use the space on the slides as best as 
possible

\item
automatic spacing tries to use the space on the slides as best as

\section{Setting text next to a figure}

\begin{minipage}[m]{.49\textwidth}
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{figures/model}
\centerline{My first figure.}
\end{minipage}
%
\begin{minipage}[m]{.49\textwidth}
\begin{itemize}
\item To set text next to a figure you can use the
  \verb+minipage+ environment.
\end{itemize}

The Code looks like this:

\tiny
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{minipage}[m]{.49\textwidth}
  \includegraphics...
\end{minipage}
%
\begin{minipage}[m]{.49\textwidth}
blablabla
\end{minipage}
\end{verbatim}

\end{minipage}
