It is possible to reformat almost any MTX file into a "slide show" suitable for
projection in a lecture hall or classroom. This page is the index for just such a
presentation. Click on the first slide to find out more...

#Introduction

You can project HTML pages for presentation by expanding your Web browser's
window to cover the entire screen and increasing the font size. After the
lecture, you can make the same materials available to participants over the local
network or on the World Wide Web.

#The Layout Tag

Use the "slide" switch with the "%LAYOUT" tag to reformat an MTX file into a set
of slides:

=  %LAYOUT slide

A {#non-slide version of this page#slideoff.html#} is also available.

{!Click on the title to continue...!}

#Headings

An MTX document will be broken into slides based on the {#headings#basic.html#}
it contains. Each heading will become the title of a slide. Slides are linked
together in the order they appear in the MTX file. Simply cut and paste sections
with headings to reorder your slides.

{!Click on the title to continue...!}

#Navigation

Each slide has three "hidden" navigation links:

	Next - Slide Title
	Previous - Left End of Slide Title
	Index - Right End of Slide Title

Click on the slide title to go forward. Click on the left end of the title to go
backward. Click on the right end of the title to return to the index.

#Slide Index

Each set of slides is linked to an index page. The index page lists the slide
titles in order of appearance providing an overview of the slide set. You can go
directly to a particular slide by clicking on its name in the list.

#Automatic Advance

It is possible to use the "{#%REFRESH#other.html#REFRESH#}" tag to automate slide
shows presented with {#Netscape#netscape.html#}.

=  %REFRESH 15

This set of slides will automatically advance every 15 seconds unless you click
on a navigation link.

#Using Images

{=moon Moon Picture=}

It is possible to use images as part of an MTX slide presentation.

#More on Images

{=/trees Trees Picture=}

Because of the limited space on the screen it is often desirable to flow text
along side of graphic elements. This is possible by using the {#floating
graphics#float.html#} feature of {#Netscape#netscape.html#}.{C}

#File Names

The file name for each slide is automatically generated by adding a serial number
to the base file name. You should limit the base file name to less than eight
characters for greatest {#compatibility#compat.html#}. Note that these file names
are arbitrary and will change as you add, move, or eliminate sections from the
original MTX file. Be sure to update any hypertext links you make to these files
when you edit them.

#Optimizing the Display

Optimal viewing requires a few adjustments to your browser:

	Expand the window to full screen
	Turn off the buttons and location field at the top of the window
	Set the background color to dark blue or black
	Set the text color to yellow or white
	Turn off link underlining

#Limitation

Currently, MTX cannot resolve links to individual slides. This means that links
to anchors such as ¾#link here#=HERE#„ will not work when slide layout is used.
These links will work in normal page layout however. This limitation will be
addressed in a future version of MTX.
