Recommendations on presentations
Hi all, Keynote is the only software that ties me to MacOS X. I would like to copy some of its presentations styles to ConTeXt (MKIV). What is the best way to do this? I read about simpleslides and looked into the code but I am unsure whether I start from a simpleslides example. Is it better to simply define the layout from scratch? juh
Hi, I use also MacOS and all my presentations are made with ConTeXt. The easiest thing to do is to take examples from simpleslides, or from the examples by Hans in the folder tex/texmf-context/tex/context/modules/common of the standalone tree, and then adapt them to your needs and your taste. Best regards: OK

For me, yes. I have found this step-by-step guide good to start with: https://github.com/adityam/context-slides-example I may send you my current template, adapted from the above, if you want (some things there are a bit outdated, if I remember correctly). Nicola

From a quick glance I'd say that this is a better start for me too. At least I find my way through the code.

That would be really nice. My design requirements are very simple but very different to the styles I saw so far. The only effect, I use, are bullet lists that appear step by step. juh -- Soziale Plastik. Die Kunst der Allmende Essay zum 30.

If you will come (or have come) up with a nice style, it could be added to the module for others. Mojca

It is instructive to step through the git commits to understand the code better. One way to do so is: https://randomdeterminism.wordpress.com/2013/01/13/creating-a-clean-presenta... Aditya
