1# Beamer - A LaTeX class for producing presentations
2
3## Overview
4
5The `beamer` class is focussed on producing (on-screen) presentations, along
6with support material such as handouts and speaker notes. Content is created
7in a `frame` environment, each of which can be divided up into a number of
8slides (actual output pages). A simple 'action' notation is used to specify
9which material appears on each slide within a frame. The class supports a
10range of environments to enable complex slide relationships to be constructed.

12The appearance of slides is controlled by a template system. Many of the
13elements of slides can be adjusted by setting simple key-based values in
14the preamble. More complex changes can be implemented by altering specific,
15targeted definitions without needing to re-write entire blocks of code. This
16allows a variety of visual appearances to be selected for the same content
17source.
