11You can use \CONTEXT\ for making your own presentations. A \CONTEXT\ presentation
12is an interactive PDF document with a screen layout. Often presentations are good
13examples of the cooperation between \CONTEXT\ and \METAPOST.
14
15\CONTEXT\ comes with a number ready-to-use presentations. A presentation is a
16module with the prefix \type{s-} and that you can load with the \type{\usemodule}
17command.

19If you want to use an already existing presentation the best way to proceed is:
20
21\startitemize[packed]
22\item goto \type{../your-contextdir/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base} in your text editor
23\item open a presentation: for example \type{s-pre-05.tex}
24\item goto the end of the file and study the commands between
25      the \type{\start...\stoptext} pair
26\item copy the commands into your own presentation file
27\item invoke the presentation with \type{\usemodule[s][pre-05]} in de setup
28      area of your presentation file
29\item process the file to view the result
30\item edit the content of your presentation
31\stopitemize

33A stepwise setup of a presentation is given at the
34\goto{\CONTEXTWIKI}[ url (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Presentations) ].
