+<foil><title>HTML</title>
+
+<para>There are a lot of HTML options. When you publish your
+presentation on the web, it's probably best to use one of the simpler,
+more accessible styles. For your actual live presentation, you may
+want to choose something fancier.</para>

+uses frames. There are several options that you can apply:
+</para>
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para><ulink url="../frames2/frames.html">overlay</ulink> uses CSS absolute positioning
+to keep the navigation static on the pages (only works on recent browsers)
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para><ulink url="../frames3/frames.html">multiframe</ulink> uses additional frames
+to keep the navigation static on the pages
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para><ulink url="../frames4/frames.html">dynamic.toc</ulink> uses JavaScript to keep
+the table of contents and the current slide in sync (only works on recent browsers)
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para><ulink url="../frames5/frames.html">active.toc</ulink> uses JavaScript to make
+the table of context <quote>active</quote> so that you can open and close the foil
+groups (only works on recent browsers)
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>These toc styles can be combined with
+<ulink url="../frames6/frames.html">overlay</ulink> or <ulink url="../frames7/frames.html">multiframe</ulink>
