IMPRESSIVE-GETTRANSITIONS(1) Debian GNU/Linux manual IMPRESSIVE-GETTRANSITIONS(1)NAME
impressive-gettransitions - Generate Impressive info scripts for LaTeX presentations
SYNOPSIS
impressive-gettransitions FILE.tex
DESCRIPTION
A simple script to produce a .info file for use with Impressive, using special comments in a LaTeX/Beamer file. FILE.tex is a file to be
parsed into .info file. For each /fullpath/blah.tex /fullpath/blah.pdf.info gets produced.
SYNTAX
In the LaTeX document, impressive-gettransitions counts the pages to determine the PDF slide number of each one.
The simpler page changes are automatically detected, that is:
egin{frame} and:
pause
Other, more elaborated page changes must be noted with a %O comment:
item<1-> Foo
item<2-> Bar %O
The transition to apply can be specified in a %O comment:
egin{frame} %O SlideUp
OPERATION
When the .info file corresponding to the LaTeX document already exist, impressive-gettransitions does not clear it, but only adds the
transitions if finds to it.
Thus, if you modified your document in a way that requires to completely replace the transitions, manually clear the PageProps section of
the .info file. This can be done by running the following sed command:
sed -i -e "/^PageProps = {/,/^}/d" FILE.info

LATEX(1) General Commands Manual LATEX(1)NAME
latex, elatex, lambda, pdflatex - structured text formatting and typesetting
SYNOPSIS
latex [first-line]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete documentation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file or manual
Web2C: A TeX implementation.
The LaTeX language is described in the book LaTeX - A Document Preparation System. LaTeX is a TeX macro package, not a modification to the
TeX source program, so all the capabilities described in tex(1) are present.
The LaTeX macros encourage writers to think about the content of their documents, rather than the form. The ideal, very difficult to real-
ize, is to have no formatting commands (like ``switch to italic'' or ``skip 2 picas'') in the document at all; instead, everything is done
by specific markup instructions: ``emphasize'', ``start a section''.
The primary source of documentation for LaTeX is the LaTeX manual referenced below, and the local guide in the file local-guide.tex or
local.tex or some such.
elatex is the e-TeX extended mode version of LaTeX format.
lambda is the Omega version of the LaTeX format.
pdflatex is the pdfTeX version of the LaTeX format.
On some systems latex209 and slitex are available for compatibility with older versions of LaTeX. These should not be used for new texts.
