Sections, Frames and Blocks
Put everything into boxes
The current section is Basic structuring. And the current
frame is what you have on the screen right now.
A beautiful block
A block has a title, and some content. You can put in a block
almost everything you want that is provided by LaTeX. For
example math works as usual:
n
X
i=1
i=
n (n + 1)
2
Also works outside a block:
n
X
n (n + 1) (2n + 1)
i2 =
6
i=1
