\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{There Is No Largest Prime Number}
\framesubtitle{The proof uses \textit{reductio ad absurdum}.}
\begin{theorem}
There is no largest prime number.
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
\begin{enumerate}
\item<1-| alert@1> Suppose $p$ were the largest prime number.
\item<2-> Let $q$ be the product of the first $p$ numbers.
\item<3-> Then $q+1$ is not divisible by any of them.
\item<1-> But $q + 1$ is greater than $1$, thus divisible by some prime
number not in the first $p$ numbers.\qedhere
\end{enumerate}
\end{proof}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Run LaTeX here

The converted PDF file shows the first footbox has brackets inside,the second footbox is empty. Now, I try to suppress the brackets in 1st box, and write my notes in the first two footboxes. How to adjust this? Any suggestion is appreciated.

Best,
Lynn

I do not see brackets at all after compilation. Update your TeX distribution and try again. For comparison click on "Open in writeLaTeX" in the head of the code box in your post and see the result instantly.

Thanks a lot, Thorsten. I updated my version of Tex.

Another question: How to add context in footboxes? Use \addfootbox?
Thank you in advance.

[…] I updated my version of Tex. […]

Do this regularly from now on.

[…] How to add context in footboxes? […]

What is the »footbox« here in this context? What do you want to add?

[…] Use \addfootbox? […]

Does this command exist at all?

Thank you, Thorsten.

The code I used is \addfootbox{structure}{\tiny\quad 2. Box}. But TeXworks stops at this code. I do not know if the code is right or wrong. Could you please give me some suggestion about how to add text content in footbox(the colored bar that contains date)?

\addfootbox is not a standard LaTeX command. I would think that you should get an error “undefined control sequence” which tells you that fact. Or did you define it yourself and get a different error? It's also not clear to me what you mean by “footbox”? The footer area? A footnote?

Thank you, cgnieder.

There are three colored rectangulars at bottom of the page. The third one has date written inside. I'd like to write some content inside of the two boxes that are to the left of the date box. How to do this?

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks. The problem is solved.
