    <abstract>
      The beamer LaTeX class can be used for producing slides.  Its
      functionality is similar to Prosper but does not need any
      external programs and can directly produce a presentation using
      pdflatex. Beamer users <xref refid="pgf">pgf</xref> for pdf/ps
      independent graphics. Frames are created using \frame{...}, and
      a frame can build multiple slides through a simple notation for
      specifying material for each slide within a frame.
