Name

       impressive-gettransitions - Generate Impressive info scripts for LaTeX presentations

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

Synopsis

impressive-gettransitionsFILE.tex

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:
           \begin{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:
           \begin{frame} %O SlideUp
