“RaySlides macros provide LaTeX2e commands for making overhead slides (transparencies) within the article style. The underlying philosophy for these commands recognizes both the resources of the article style for slide preparation as well as the practical inconvenience of accesing these resources for overhead slides. Consequently, RaySlides simply supplements the article style with macros specialized for designing and formatting slides. This approach retains the commands and familiarity of the article style while providing an interface for slides. ”
