<tmdoc-title|Traversal of a presentation>
One major family of markup tags for presentations concerns the traversal of
the document during a presentation. The keys <key|F10> and <key|F11> are
used respectively for going back and forth in the presentation. The keys
<key|F9> and <key|F12> are used to go to the start <abbr|resp.> end of the
presentation. When using the <tmstyle|beamer> style or when enabling the
``presentation tool'' in the <menu|Tools> menu, a <menu|Dynamic> menu and
additional icons will appear, which can also be used for the traversal of
your presentation.
The most basic traversal tag is called a ``switch'', and allows the user to
show different pieces of text in successive and mutually exclusive manner.
The entire presentation itself usually consists of a <markup|screens>
switch, where the pieces are the successive ``slides'' of the presentation.
After selection of the <tmstyle|beamer> style, this switch can be inserted
using <menu|Focus|Screens> or <menu|Insert|Fold|Switch|Screens>. You may
jump from one screen to another one using <key|pageup> and <key|pagedown>.
Inside a switch, new ``branches'' can be inserted after or before the
currently visible branch using <menu|Focus|Insert argument after> or
<menu|Focus|Insert argument before>. Besides the <markup|screens> switch,
you may use <menu|Insert|Fold|Switch|Standard> to insert paragraph-wide
switches, and <menu|Insert|Fold|Switch|Tiny> to insert inline switches
(similarly to displayed and inline formulas).
Another popular way to traverse is presentation is to progressively unroll
content. This can be done by inserting an <markup|unroll> tag using
<menu|Insert|Fold|Unroll>. Using a ``hack'' this tag can be combined with
the <markup|itemize> and <markup|enumerate> tags: first create the list
environment, but remove the first (automatically inserted) <markup|item>
tag. Next insert the unroll tag. When pressing <key|enter> inside the
unroll tag, new items are created; you still have to use <menu|Focus|Insert
argument after> for inserting new branches to the unroll structure (in
particular, several items could be unrolled at once).
A variant of unrolling is unfolding. This is basically an unroll tag with
exactly two branches, but different variants are available in
<menu|Insert|Fold|Folded> depending on the desired rendering. In
particular, some of the renderings display a button which may be pushed in
order to fold or unfold some content. The input-output fields inside
computer algebra sessions are also foldable. Similarly, the tags in
<menu|Insert|Fold|Summarize> are switches with two branches, again with
different kinds of rendering.
When using <TeXmacs> in combination with an external plug-in, such as a
computer algebra system, you will notice that all input-output fields in
<hlink|sessions|../interface/man-session-basic.en.tm> are foldable. In
addition, you can create so called ``<hlink|executable
switches|../interface/man-scripting-language.en.tm>'' using the items in
the <menu|Insert|Fold|Executable> submenu. This allows you to switch back
and forth between a given input to the system and the corresponding output.
All markup for the traversal of presentations may be nested in a natural
way. In the <menu|Insert|Fold|Traversal> menu, you may specify whether
unrolled and folded structures should be folded back after traversal.
