Slide Production

At least 4 documented facilities exist. The slides class is part of standard LaTeX. foiltex is newer and probably easier to use, though the seminar package may be more powerful. The prosper package also produces online PDF slideshows. Screen Presentations (Michael Wiedmann) compares many options.
