ltx-talk: A new class for presentations

I’ve just sent the first (v0.1.0) release of ltx-talk to CTAN. This is a new tagging-aware class which works similarly to beamer. I’ve talked before about the need to write a class from scratch for tagged presentations, so this should be no real surprise.

This is very much a work-in-progress, so don’t be surprised if things you’ve used in beamer simply don’t work. But something like

\DocumentMetadata{tagging = on}
\documentclass{ltx-talk}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
  \begin{itemize}[<+->]
    \item First
    \item Second
    \item Third
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

will work fine.

If you want to see a full example, I’ve uploaded my lecture slides on polymer chemistry, which I’ve updated from beamer to ltx-talk for teaching in the autumn.
