Text.LaTeX.Packages.Beamer

Beamer is a LaTeX package for the creation of slides.

Each frame is contained within the frame function. Here is an example:

{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}

import Text.LaTeX
import Text.LaTeX.Packages.Beamer

mySlides :: Monad m => LaTeXT m ()
mySlides = do
  frame $ do
    frametitle "First frame"
    "Content of the first frame."
  frame $ do
    frametitle "Second frame"
    "Content of the second frame." 
    pause
    " And actually a little more."

The pause command in the second frame makes the second part of the text to appear one screen later.
