> Name of contribution: lecturer
> Author's name: Paul Isambert

> Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
> Lecturer creates slides for on-screen presentations based on PDF
> features without manipulating TeX's typesetting process. The
> presentation flow relies on PDF's abilities to display content step by
> step.
> Features include:
> - Free positioning of anything anywhere in painted areas on the slide,
> as well as in the main textblock.
> - Numerous attributes to control the layout and the presentation flow,
> from TeX's primitive dimensions to the visibility of steps.
> - Feature inheritance from global to local settings, with intermediate
> types.
> - Basic drawing facilities to produce symbols, e.g. for list items or
> buttons.
> - Colors, transparency, shades, and pictures.
> - Navigation with links, pop-up menus, and customizable bookmarks.
> - Easy switch between presentation and handout.
> - PDF transitions.
> Besides the traditional documentation, the distribution includes a
> visual doc (LecturerDemo-VisualDoc.pdf) and six demo presentations
> ranging from geometric abstraction to classic style to silly video
> game.
> Lecturer is designed for all formats except ConTeXt MkIV (because of
> clashes in management of PDF objects, probably), works only with
> pdfTeX and LuaTeX for the time being, and requires texapi and yax,
> both v.1.02.
