CTAN installation: University of Wisconsin-Madison Slide Class File
by Jim Hefferon 31 Oct '02

31 Oct '02

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should make its way to your favorite mirror in the next day or two. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org ================================================================= The following information was provided by our fellow contributor. Name of contribution: University of Wisconsin-Madison Slide Class File Author's name: Eric Benedict Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/supported/uwmslide Summary description: Produces slides with a simple Power Point like appearance. Several different slide enviroments are included. License type: artistic Announcement text given by the contribution's author: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A slide format which produces slides with a simple Power Point like appearance. Several useful features include: - - uses standard titlepage to produce title slide - - several slide environments including: - plain slide (page with a title) - double slide (two column page with slide title) - item slide (item list with title) - left item slide - right item slide - - places a logo on the upper left corner of each slide if the logo file logo.eps is present. - - preconfigured in landscape mode - - uses Times Roman by default for simple conversion to *.pdf format. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Additional announcement information, by the package's author. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This slide class is different from what I found (when I wrote it a few years ago) first in that it has a different 'look and feel' for the output format. I wanted a simple base slide format which would mimic the format of the Power Point slides which my collegues were producing. This class also adds different slide environments which simplify the construction of the presentation. While I saw the idea of egin{slide} ... end{slide} in other classes; I added the ability to put in slide titles as well as creating different `stock format' slides. The preformatted slides allow for quicker presentation creation and are unique to my knowledge. For example to make an itemized list slide: egin{itemslide}{Example Itemized List} item First Point item Second Point item Third Point end{itemslide} Philosphically, I also was trying to minimize the amount of formating tricks which were needed by the user. I wanted the slide class to take care of those issues as cleanly as possible. I've also included a sample presentation which puts the class through its paces as it were. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

removal of mpfnmark
by Robin Fairbairns 31 Oct '02

31 Oct '02

the package macros/latex/contrib/other/mpfnmark seemed to offer interesting functionality, but unfortunately had a bug that meant that in many cases it simply didn't work. the author has not responded to suggestions that the bug be mended. i therefore added a working version of the functionality to the latest version of footmisc (macros/latex/contrib/supported/footmisc), some time ago. the ctan team has now decided that the mpfnmark package itself should be removed; it will disappear from mirrors over the next few days. users should switch to using footmisc, instead.
