Re: [NTG-context] \presentationstep

6 Nov 2004

      Hi all,

Inspiring from Otared Kavian's code and Han's presentation styles with
support for steps, I cooked the following in order to solve the non
JavaScript version issue. I post it in case it could be useful to other
people.

This implementation supports an \{Only|From|Until}Step[n] syntax as well
as the simple \NextStep-style one.

Otared: Any comments or suggestions?

And here is an example of usage:

-------------------------------------------
\StartSteps[Slide Title]           % the title is passed to
                                   % the \Subject macro

\startitemize
\item Item 1
\OnlyStep[2]  {\item (oops!)}
\UntilStep[4] {\item Item 2*}
\FromStep[4]  {\item Item 2}
\stopitemize

\StopSteps
-------------------------------------------

And here is a mixed example:

-------------------------------------------
\StartSteps[Navier||Stokes equation]

\[
  \frac{D\vec u}{Dt} =
    \FromStep[2][reserve]{-{\red \frac1\rho \vec\nabla p}}
    \FromStep[3][reserve]{+\;{\green \vec g}}
    \FromStep[4][reserve]{+\;{\blue \frac1\rho \div S}}
\]

Momentum transport:	\NextStep
\item {\red   Pressure gradient}	\par\NextStep
\item {\green Gravity}                  \par\NextStep
\item {\blue  Stress (viscous, turbulent, Maxwell)}

\StopSteps
-------------------------------------------

And here's the code:
