The basic structure of a Prosper input file is pretty simple. Consider the file sample.tex, the content of which is shown below:
% sample.tex \documentclass[pdf,azure,slideColor,colorBG]{prosper} \begin{document} \begin{slide}{Elementary mathematics} Observations: \[ \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-x^2} \, dx = \sqrt{\pi} \] \[ e^{i\pi} = -1 \] Conclusions: \begin{itemize} \item $\sqrt{2}$ is irrational \item $e$ and $\pi$ are transcendental \item $42$ and 42 are not the same in \LaTeX \end{itemize} \end{slide} \end{document}
The input file above produces the following single slide:
The \begin{slide}{}...\end{slide} block can be repeated any number of times to produce a sequence of slides.
\begin{slide}{Elementary mathematics}
specifies "Elementary mathematics" as title for this slide. It is an error to omit the slide title.
