7 Components: the Function Pages - Developers

When you press the button, TWiki begins your presentation: It accesses
a template and inserts the slide title and contents you have
provided. If you have not yet created your own template, the TWiki
presentation template is used, which is defined in the topic SlideshowPlugin.
Using the included navigation buttons, you can jump
back and forth from slide to slide.
You can exit the presentation button via the slides with the button
End Presentation.
21.3.2
Your Own Template
You most likely do not want to employ the TWiki test template for
your presentation, but would rather use the opportunity to create
your own layout. It basically does not matter where you define your
template: You can generate a separate topic for it, or insert the template
on the page in which your presentation is also located. However,
there should only be one template per topic, since it is integrated
via the topic title.
Surround the template with the variables %STARTINCLUDE%
and %STOPINCLUDE%. Between them, use an HTML table that defines
the design of your slide. Thus, for instance, you can define the
first row as your slide title by inserting the logo and the placeholder
%SLIDETITLE%.
The following variables are available for the template:
Variable Significance
%SLIDETITLE% Slide title.
%SLIDETEXT% Slide text.
%SLIDENUM% Current slide number.
%SLIDEMAX% Number of the last slide.
%SLIDENAV% Navigation buttons for the “first,” “previous,”
and “next” slide.
%SLIDENAVALL% Navigation buttons for the “first,” “previous,”
“next” and “last” slide.
%SLIDENAVFIRST% Navigation button “First slide.”
%SLIDENAVPREV% Navigation button “Previous slide.”
%SLIDENAVNEXT% Navigation button “Next slide.”
%SLIDENAVLAST% Navigation button “Last slide.”
Of course you can also utilize all other design options of HTML tables,
such as background color, text alignment, and so on.
