2.4.4 Outline

The Outline Viewer gives the user a condensed form of the currently open presentation.

The presentation's XHTML tags (Section 2.2: Preparing a Lecture) are used to dynamically create the outline displayed in the Outline Viewer. Slides are separated by horizontal lines in the Outline Viewer, and the slide's number appears in the bottom right-hand corner of each slide's outline section. It is possible to expand and collapse the content in the Outline Viewer to allow for a verbose or condensed view of the outline:

Expanding Outline Entries

The user expands sections of the outline in two ways:
  • Expand All
    • Click the 'Expand All' button on the oultine view to expand all sections and subsections.
  • Expand Individual Sections
    • Double click a collapsed heading in the outline view to expand its contents.
