It %D provides a consistent interface and macros; there are different styles which %D give different output. The module has been written for projector||based %D presentations, so elements which are typical for screen presentations (such %D as interactive hyperlinks or tables of contents) are not included. The %D module is meant for an academic environment, specifically in the humanities. %D Hence, it has the following characteristics: %D %D \startitemize %D %D \item The look is rather sober. In academia, presentations are not meant to %D showcase fancy \TeX\ effects; nothing should divert the audience's attention %D from the content. %D %D \item The module is written for slides which exhibit text and/or images. %D From my own experience with \TeX||based presentations, I have provided a %D setup for horizontal (landscape) pictures and for vertical (portrait) %D pictures, which are accompanied by an area for explanatory text. %D %D \item A simple switch in the module setup command will produce different %D output. %D %D \item It is easy to customize the module or to add more styles. %D %D \stopitemize %D %D The macros are commented rather extensively to give users (especially users %D relatively new to \CONTEXT) the chance to understand the mechanisms and %D create their own styles. Of course, I did not invent this code on my own. My %D thanks are due, as always, to Hans Hagen, whose presentation modules in the %D \CONTEXT\ core have been a wonderful source of inspiration, to Mojca %D Miklavec, who provided help with Metapost, and to Aditya Mahajan, who helped %D tremendously in cleaning up the code and making the user interface more %D consistent. \writestatus{loading}{module simpleslides} \startmodule[simpleslides] \unprotect \setupmodule [style=, font=LatinModernSans, size=17pt, color=blue, alternative=square] \usemodule [simpleslides-fontsdefault] \usemodule [simpleslides-default] % \usemodule % [simpleslides-c] % [default] \doiffileelse{s-\currentmoduleparameter\c!style} {\ReadFile{s-\currentmoduleparameter\c!style}} {\expanded{\usemodule[simpleslides-\currentmoduleparameter\c!style]}} \protect \stopmodule
