Lectures with <strong>the</strong> Presentation Plugin<br />

(SlideShow)<br />

group at <strong>the</strong> conference, he can make use of his SlideShow plugin,<br />

a page and divide it by headings. Each heading and <strong>the</strong> text following<br />

it is displayed as a slide. The format of <strong>the</strong> slides is based on a<br />

slide template that you can format at will and fill with contents as<br />
