Re: [NTG-context] presentation module
Could you please take this discussion somewhere else? This is neither of interest for a ConTeXt mailing list, nor is the tone appropriate for this list. Thank you. I don't think this topic is unrelated to ConTeXt (or TeX). For a long time TeX macro packages has been focused on structured documents (and it is obviously not WYSIWYG). If someone can develop a GUI frontend (even a simple one to set figure/textblock position) for TeX, it will be as meaningful as what the TeX community is doing now (like developing TeX engines, formats, source editors, fonts, etc.) Obviously, all recent GUI frontends (texmacs, texword, etc.) are not meant to do so, they only help the beginners to structure their documents, not truly for document design purpose. As to the tone, i admit it is unappropriate, sorry about that.

This might be debatable, but I would risk a following statement: if you consider your presentation slides unstructured, maybe it's time to devote more thinking to it... I admit it is easy to create bulletpoint presentations in ConTeXt (even easier than Keynote and PowerPoint, \item will do all the stuffs) But bear in mind structured presentation handout \neq structured presentation slides As far as I know, for most time, the presentation handout should be structured (point 1, point 2, point3.1, point 3.2 ...) so the speaker can cover the topic throughly. However, a structured presentation slide (e.g., bulletpoint) is too monotonous-dull to put the audience to sleep easily. Only by careful reorganization of materials can the speaker makes an awesome presentation. That's why Steve Job's presentations are all unstructured, but the audience know clearly what the key points are, and excited-scream when watching his presentation. TeX and XML are good for creating structured stuffs (books, journal papers) where only item point/chapter/float/ref are needed, but concerning unstructured stuffs like presentation slides, it will be difficult to do that in just a few \items or \sections. But a GUI would be nice in fact, especially for tikz. I agree that in some cases it would be faster to use it than to type everything.

Re: [NTG-context] presentation module
Olivier, thanks so much! This helps enormously -- I had a few reports that these assignments were troublesome, but couldn't reproduce them on my system, so I'm very grateful you provide a solution! (Note to self: will have to ask Taco why this works on some systems but not on others.) I'll upload a new and (I hope) much improved version this weekend!

[NTG-context] presentation module
Hi all, I have played around a bit and prepared a module to produce presentations with ConTeXt. It is inspired (of course) by Hans's work, but provides less frills and an easier interface; I hope it is especially suited for academic presentations. Before I actually unleash it on the unsuspecting masses, I would be grateful if somebody could test it. It comes with a demo file and some documentation, so all you have to do is run it through ConTeXt; I want to make sure that it'll work on other installations than mine. If you're interested, drop me a line, and I'll send it to you (it's just a zip file of 233 k).
