Sections, Frames and BlocksPut everything into boxes

The current section is Basic structuring. And the current

frame is what you have on the screen right now.

A beautiful block

A block has a title, and some content. You can put in a blockalmost everything you want that is provided by LaTeX. For

example math works as usual:

n

i=1

i= n (n+ 1)

2 (1)

Also works outside a block:n

i=1

i2 =

n (n+ 1) (2n+ 1)

6 (2)
