Notes
1. pdf presentations : 08:21
Categories: None -- Permalink
On debian-user@lists.debian.org, David Z Maze thinks Prosper is great
for making PDF presentations from LaTeX.
xpdf -fullscreen
-papercolor black to actually run the slides.
2. magicpoint : 08:43
Categories: None -- Permalink
Chris Beggy writes in with another tip
(thanks!). Chris thinks that Magicpoint is an
excellent PowerPoint replacement. I like Magicpoint's text-based
presentation files and its nice gallery of styles I can choose, but
I'm thinking of going for prosper+latex instead. I hear that prosper
has pretty nice output.
4. equals in URLs and emacs-wiki.el : 09:36
Categories: None -- Permalink
I suspect that URLs need to be verbatim; stray equal signs and
underscores can be their undoing! Maybe I should just blank out the
markup-word thing...
5. emacs-wiki-markup-word : 09:47
Categories: None -- Permalink
I use
(defun emacs-wiki-markup-word ()) to squelch all the bad markup I'm getting lately.

The author claims that Python is easy to translate to Chinese. This could be useful to the Chinese-literate people here. :)
