Hi, I display the context's power for create beautiful PDF files
to my friends. They are very interesting and ask me if the PDF created
by context can do presentation like MS powerpoint do? such as
mouse click will display the next item, animate,etc. I know
there is a program named ppower which using java dealing with
the pdflatex output. the modified PDF files can controled by
keyboard, not mouse. I believe context can do but I don't know how.

I dislike the idea of non self contained presentations, so for the moment
you are limited to normal pdf annotation support, which offers enough.
The acrobat viewers obey the keys. For presentations you only need:
PgUp previous page
PgDn next page
Ctrl- previous jump
Ctrl-w close document
No need for javascripts here.
Concerning pp alike, I think tex can go beyond -)

Well besides this there are the (ugly?!) pagetransitions (when you open another
page).
I once saw an example by Hans, which uses JavaScript to print a page and hide
reveal anything under several white rectangles, removing one by one, when
clicking the mouse (something like Power Point, I think Hans made it for Taco,
anyone remembering?)

Thanks. I know that is ugly presentation. But, nowdays
many people use the MS powerpoint to give slide show.
some friends of me also use it. But, you know in MS product,
mathe symbols, equations was really ugly. TeX/LaTeX, on the
other hand, give beautiful mathe output. That why the question
to this list
