Hi,


I re-discoverd http://pauillac.inria.fr/advi/ and found, that it is
mature enough for serious usage nowadays.

Does anyone on this list use it in conjunction with Org-mode already?

I'd be interested in the setup for this.




advi is a *amazing* presentation tool and uses LaTeX sources. One may
draw and annotate slides live in colors and even draw sketches (and save
the slide as image file), use a `laser pointer', easy keyboard
navigation and so on. It understands ps-tricks, internal hyperlinks and
much more.

  sh$ apt-get install advi advi-examples # examples are optional
  sh$ advi                               # Watch the help as presentation
  sh$ dpkg --purge advi advi-examples    # Just in case you don't like it

Hups, looks like there is nothing to set up. The trick is just to use
the dvi files and add some latex specials to the org file :-)
and include the advi package and, optionally, some more packages for
colors and stuff.

This is from the head section of the manual.tex in the advi sources:

%% ... snipp
\usepackage [\advidriver]{advi}
\usepackage {advi-annot}
\usepackage {bubble}

%% ... snipp 

% For splash inclusion
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{tabularx}
%\usepackage{pst-all}
\usepackage{xwindows-colors}
\usepackage[\driver]{hyperref}
% End of splash specific stuff



Now we could use the LaTeX commands provided by advi for effects,
embedding videos and so on.


Anyway, advi can display any *.dvi file without using the LaTeX
packages.

In a similar vein, I've used latex/beamer a number of times for
presentations (including to a group last night).  It works very well and
I did, at one point, start writing a org-mode output for it but never
quite finished it.  Really it just needed to replace small bits of the
existing latex exporter with a new top template as well as some other
small minor in-content changes.

(it was at this point that I decided org-mode really need a generic
export template mechanism, which I mentioned once in a previous post)
