\begin{psli}[Title of first slide]
This is an example of a \LaTeX\ \texttt{itemize} list 

\begin{itemize}
   \item first line in an itemized list
   \item second line in an itemized list
   \item third line in an itemized list
\end{itemize}
\end{psli}

\begin{psli}[Title of second slide\footnote{footnotes often are
      not a good idea for a presentation, better avoid them!}]

This page shows nested, ``vertically compressed'' lists using the
\texttt{citemize} and \texttt{cenumerate} environments of 
      \texttt{elpres}:

\begin{citemize}
   \item first line in an itemized list
   \item second line in an itemized list
   \begin{cenumerate}
      \item first line of numbered list
      \item second line of numbered list
   \end{cenumerate}
   \item final line in itemized list
\end{citemize}

{\small For footnotes using \LaTeX's \verb+\footnote{}+ command, 
  the \texttt{footmisc} package, providing the
  option \texttt{perpage}\footnote{this forces \LaTeX\ to start
  footnote numbers with ``1'' on each slide}
   is recommended.%
  \footnote{another option is \texttt{symbol*} which allows
  to mark footnotes  with symbols instead of numbers} \par }
\end{psli}

\begin{psli}[Title of third slide\textsuperscript{*}]
  \begin{itemize} \item This page shows the use of footnotes 
    with the \verb+\altfnarea{}+ command
  \item Definition and use of \verb+\altfnarea{}+\textsuperscript{\dag} 
    are described in the \texttt{elpres} manual

  \altfnarea{\textsuperscript{*}This footnote comments the title;
      \textsuperscript{\dag}\texttt{altfnarea}: \textbf{alt}ernative 
      \textbf{f}oot\textbf{n}otes \textbf{area}}
  \end{itemize}
\end{psli}

\begin{psli}[Title of fourth slide]
\begin{cdescription}
  \item[environment name:] \texttt{cdescription}, comparable to
    \LaTeX's \texttt{des\-cription} environment
  \item[used for:] vertically compressed lists with small ``titles''
     of items
\end{cdescription}
\end{psli}

\begin{psli}[Title of fifth slide]

If justified text and hyphenation is to be suppressed, the 
\texttt{ragged2e} package may be used with the \texttt{document}
and \texttt{originalparameters} options.

\vspace{1ex}

\fbox{\parbox{0.95\textwidth}{
\footnotesize In order to avoid an option clash, \texttt{ragged2e}
  should follow \texttt{footmisc} in the preamble, if both packages are

\AddToShipoutPictureBG{

    \put(108,79){\includegraphics[height=16mm]{ctan-lion}}
}

The code for placing the logo {\scriptsize (details are explained 
in the \texttt{elpres} manual)}: 

{ \footnotesize
\begin{verbatim}
   \AddToShipoutPictureBG{
      \setlength{\unitlength}{1mm}
      \put(108,79){\includegraphics[height=16mm]{ctan-lion}}
   }
\end{verbatim}}
  
This makes the logo visible on the current and on all following pages.
The starred  version: {\footnotesize \verb+\AddToShipoutPictureBG*{}+
} shows the picture on the current slide only.

\item In contrast to \textcolor{ephighlightcolor}{\texttt{psli}}-slides, the
  contents are \emph{not} centered vertically.
