Lists and columns

Lists
~~~~~
.A nested list
*********************************
- <1>This is the example file for a
  highly experimental
 * beamer 
 * backend.
- <3>Sidebars become slides, which 
  may or may not be considered 
  to be a smart choice.
- <2>It works for me, your mileage 
  will vary.
- <4>For installation just put 
  beamer.conf somewhere where asciidoc 
  can find it (e.g. /etc/asciidoc/).

.Other lists

Columns

.Columns
*************************************
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5cm

[CAUTION]
.Alert
===========================================
This implementation of columns is rather 
ugly. It consists of exclamation marks as 
enclosing block and column markers -
a number+cm at the beginning of a new line 
indicating the width of the ensuing
column.
===========================================

5cm

[NOTE]
.Notabene
===========================================
This does not translate well to other output 
formats. Better ideas are highly appreciated.

linebreak! 

Works!

.A quote

[Thomas Berker, Beyond the beamer backend (2008)]
________________________________________________
I have implemented all the style elements which 
I usually use in presentations. Others should be 
easy enough to add.

.An example
************************************************
[caption="Example 1: "]
.An example with a custom caption
================================================
Actually, the whole file is an example. I first 
considered to use a new [SLIDE] style for 
admonition/example blocks to become the slide marker. 
But admonition/example blocks within admonition/
example blocks are not possible, so I went for 
sidebar blocks. It looks ok if translated to pdf via 
docbook like this:

 asciidoc -b docbook example.txt

 dblatex example.xml
==================================================
**************************************************

.Admonitions
*********************************************
With a pause in between! I used the 4 or more 
apostrophes which usually indicate a ruler.

[CAUTION]
.An alert!!
=============================================
You will need extra packages also needed for 
the experimental latex backend. And the beamer 
package of course.

 aptitude install latex-beamer
=============================================

[TIP]
.A tip!!
=============================================
Produce the pdf with the following commands:

 asciidoc --unsafe -n beamer example.txt

 pdflatex example.tex
=============================================
