On Tue, 11 Jul 2006 Martin Wiebusch submitted an update to the talk package. The talk document class allows you to create slides for screen presentations or printing on transparencies. It also allows you to print personal notes for your talk. You can create overlays and display structure information (current section / subsection, table of contents) on your slides. The main feature that distinguishes talk from other presentation classes like beamer or prosper is that it allows the user to define an arbitrary number of slide styles and switch between these styles from slide to slide. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/talk Summary description: A LaTeX class for presentations License type: lppl Announcement text:
- bug concerning the papersize in screen mode when compiled under pdflatex was fixed - \title and \author commands now support short versions as optional arguments The last version had a major bug in it that made the package useless when you are compiling with pdflatex.
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Joachim Schrod

talk – A class for presentations

The talk document class allows you to create slides for screen presentations or printing on transparencies. It also allows you to print personal notes for your talk. You can create overlays and display structure information (current section / subsection, table of contents) on your slides. The main feature that distinguishes talk from other presentation classes like beamer or prosper is that it allows the user to define an arbitrary number of slide styles and switch between these styles from slide to slide. This way the slide layout can be adapted to the slide content. For example, the title or contents page of a talk can be given a slightly different layout than the other slides.

The talk class makes no restrictions on the slide design whatsoever. The entire look and feel of the presentation can be defined by the user. The style definitions should be put in a separate sty file. Currently the package comes with only one set of pre-defined slide styles (greybars.sty). Contributions from people who are artistically more gifted than the author are more than welcome!
