This is the README file for the lecturer package. Author: Paul Isambert. E-mail: zappathustra AT free DOT fr Comments and suggestions are welcome. Date: July 2010.

Lecturer creates slides for onscreen presentation with PDF features. It works with plain TeX, LaTeX, ConTeXt MkII and unfortunately not ConTeXt MkIV (though it seems you can still produce handouts).

It requires pdfTeX or LuaTeX. If anybody wants to write anything that makes it work with XeTeX, be my guest. The problem comes from the lack of pdfTeX's primitives.

Relevant information can be found in lecturer-doc.pdf.
