LyX and FoilTeX combine to provide a powerful presentation package for creating

_inset Quotes eld inset

foils _inset Quotes erd inset

also known as slides and overhead transparencies. Foilhead

This is a Foilhead LaTeX

hrule height 3pt Standard

A Foilhead starts a new foil. A on short default version is also provided that reduces the separation between the Foilhead and the body of the foil. Almost all the environments found in other classes are also supported. Itemize

allowing you to select the bullet used _deeper Itemize

NOTE: to get the full capabilities of the Itemize Bullet Selection popup read the Special Tools manual and the ItemizeBullets.lyx file included with the examples. Itemize

NOTE 2: To get your list spacing small like this use the FoilTeX command:

The foils class has been extended to provide two additional bullet-lists. These lists are namely: TickList

TickList Standard

and CrossList

CrossList Standard

These two lists were added because the listing of do's and don'ts or good and bad are relatively common in foils. Providing a dedicated paragraph style for these occasions should allow faster entry and simplify interaction with LyX. Rotatefoilhead

Rotatefoilhead LaTeX

hrule height 3pt Itemize

Create landscape foils by using Rotatefoilhead Itemize

Note that if you are viewing this with xdvi the page will appear to overrun the page dimensions because it xdvi doesn't rotate the text Itemize

If you view this document using ghostview or something similar then the page should appear rotated. If not then you probably don't have the necessary dvips driver. Definition*

There are also several environments specially designed for presenting Theorems, Lemmas, Corollaries, Propositions, Proofs and Definitions. These are available as numbered or unnumbered environments. ShortRotatefoilhead

ShortRotateFoilhead LaTeX

Again the short version reduces the space below the heading Itemize

Another way to control the amount of separation is to adjust the length in the preamble. This will affect both the normal and short versions of foilhead and rotatefoilh ead. For example,

typewriter

setlength foilheadskip-0.5in default

will reduce the spacing by 0.5 inches. Other units include mm (millimeters) and pt (points). Itemize

The on short default versions of the foilheads reduce the separation by 0.5 inches (approximately 12.5mm). ShortFoilhead

Tricky Proofs LaTeX

hrule height 3pt Lemma*

Several consecutive paragraphs of type on Theorem default , on Lemma default , on Corollary default , on Proposition default , on Definition default , on Proof default or the starred versions of these are part of the same environment. Lemma*

As you can see, we are still in the same lemma. LaTeX

Lemma*

To force this second Lemma straight after the first it's necessary to add some dividing text or as I've done in this case separate the two by inserting a on LaTeX default environment that simply contains a _inset Quotes eld inset

_inset Quotes erd inset

. This is simply a comment character in LaTeX but the insertion of the LaTeX paragraph is sufficient to fool LyX into correctly handling the multiple environments. Lemma*

NOTE: You only have this problem with multiple paragraphs of the same type

on not default with different types such as a Proof followed by a Theorem. ShortFoilhead

Headers and Footers LaTeX

hrule height 3pt Standard

FoilTeX provides some powerful header and footer capabilities _float footnote Standard

You can also use the standard footnotes like this one. float that are best set in the preamble although they may be set at any point in a document. If you want to change these settings in the document the best place to do so is at the very top of a foil ie. straight after the foilhead. Standard

The left-footer is controlled by two commands: typewriter

MyLogo default and typewriter

Restriction default . The first is meant to allow you to include a graphic logo on your foils and defaults to _inset Quotes eld inset

-Typeset by FoilTeX- _inset Quotes erd inset

. While the second is meant to provide a classification for the audience eg. Confidential. Standard

The remaining corners are controlled by: Standard

rightfooter default – which defaults to page numbers Standard
