a few weeks ago, i learned just enough about the latex "beamer" package to put together my recent linuxcon talk, but i'd like to push this a bit further and use more of beamer's more advanced features. in particular, i'd like to formalize some sort of processing toolchain where i can start using, i don't know, macros or shortcuts (if they exist) to avoid having to type the same tex directives over and over. is anyone out there using beamer heavily, and interested in an actual paying gig giving me a hand with this? i don't see this being more than a few hours worth of advising me but, as i said, i'm willing to compensate whoever can give me a hand as i'm kind of swamped with other stuff at the moment. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
