The highlight color may be changed in the preamble. Brown is given in the template, but feel
free to edit. (Look for colorx.) HTML color code is to use; visit ColorPicker.com for further
color definitions. Dark neutral colors are preferred.
The commented version of the template
Usage of the commented version is appropriate for situations when you wish to extend the
content of the slides. The output of this version is a portrait A4-size pdf, with the bordered
slide on the top half and additional comments on the second half. It is useful for sharing class
presentations with comments. Thus, it is NOT appropriate for brief comments for yourself, like
in Microsoft PowerPoint.
