Seminar is a LaTeX package to make slides, with a lot of
flexibility and functionnalities.
Current version is 1.4. You will found it on CTAN, under the
macros/latex/contrib/other/seminar directory.
A minimal support of Seminar is included since LaTeX2html v.98.1
1 - Documentation
By Timothy van Zandt. The source of this documentation is included
in the distribution as sem-user.tex.
If you want to generate it yourself, with actual versions of LaTeX 2e you
must change the following definition in tvz-user.sty:
\def\papersizeadjust{}
By Denis Girou. With the HTML version, there is also a
PostScript version, which has better
formatting and which include the result of all the examples.
Take care that the PostScript file is rather huge (1.1 MBytes, due to
the included result files), so downloading require some good Web
bandwidth...

2 - Seminar demonstration files
Obviously, screen oriented presentations and PDF file generation are crucial
points today. For this purpose, there are many packages available today in the
(La)TeX world, but Seminar (with the interactive features added by the
'hyperref' package) has by itself all the major required features, since it
beginning.
Here are some demonstration files which want to show the various results
that we can obtain.
But take care that no support of any kind is offered to help to
adapt these examples to your own needs. You must learn and work by
yourself. Do not write me about these files, for any additional explanations
or to adapt them to your own needs, except if you have to send me informations
of general interest or new innovative examples that you want to share.
