-\section[How To Import Presentations Based on Other Packages and Classes]
-{How To Import Presentations Based on\\ Other Packages and Classes}
-
-The \beamer\ class comes with a number of emulation layers for classes
-or packages that do not support \beamer\ directly. For example, the
-package |beamerseminar| maps some (not all) commands of the \seminar\
-class to appropriate \beamer\ commands. This way, individual slides or
-whole sets of slides that have been prepared for a presentation using
-\seminar\ can be used inside \beamer, provided they are reasonably
-simple.
-
-None of the emulation layers is a perfect substitute for the original
-(emulations seldom are) and it is not intended that they ever will
-be. If you want/need/prefer the features of another class, use that
-class for preparing your presentations. The intension of these layers
-is just to help speed up creating \beamer\ presentations that use
-parts of old presentations. You can simply copy these parts in
-verbatim, without having to worry about the subtle differences in
-syntax.
-
-A useful effect of using an emulation layer is that you get access to
-all the features of \beamer\ while using the syntax of another
-class. For example, you can use the |article| mode to create a
-nice article version of a \prosper\ talk.
-
-
-
-\subsection{Prosper and HA-Prosper}
-\label{section-prosper}
-
-The package |beamerprosper| maps the commands of the \prosper\
-package, developed by Fr\'ed\'eric Goualard, to \beamer\
-commands. Also, some commands of the \textsc{ha}-\prosper\ package,
-developed by Hendri Adriaens, are mapped to \beamer\ commands.
-\emph{These mappings cannot perfectly emulate all of Prosper!} Rather,
-these mappings are intended as an aid when porting parts of
-presentations created using \prosper\ to \beamer. \emph{No styles are
- implemented that mimick Prosper styles.} Rather, the normal \beamer\
-themes must be used (although, one could implement \beamer\ themes
-that mimicks existing \prosper\ styles; I have not done that and do
-not intend to).
-
-The workflow for creating a \beamer\ presentation that uses \prosper\
-code is the following:
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item
- Use the document class |beamer|, not |prosper|. Most options
- passed to |prosper| do not apply to |beamer| and should be omitted.
-\item
- Add a |\usepackage{beamerprosper}| to start the emulation.
-\item
- If you add slides relying on \textsc{ha}-\prosper, you may wish to
- add the option |framesassubsections| to |beamerprosper|, though I do
- not recommend it (use the normal |\subsection| command instead; it
- gives you more fine-grained control).
-\item
- If you also copy the title commands, it may be necessary to adjust
- the content of commands like |\title|
- or |\author|. Note that in \prosper\ the |\email| command is given
- outside the |\author| command, whereas in \beamer\ and also in
- \textsc{ha}-\prosper\ it is given inside.
-\item
- When copying slides containing the command |\includegraphics|, you
- will almost surely have to adjust its usage. If you use pdf\LaTeX\
- to typeset the presentation, than you cannot include PostScript
- file. You should convert them to |.pdf| or to |.png| and adjust any
- usage of |\includegraphics| accordingly.
-\item
- When starting to change things, you can use all of \beamer's
- commands and even mix them with \prosper\ commands.
-\end{enumerate}
-
-An example can be found in the file |beamerexample-prosper.tex|.
-
-There are, unfortunately, quite a few places where you may run into
-problems:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item
- In \beamer, the command |\PDForPS| will do exactly what the name
- suggests: insert the first argument when run by |pdflatex|, insert
- the second argument when run by |latex|. However, in \prosper, the
- code inserted for the \pdf\ case is actually PostScript code, which
- is only later converted to \pdf\ by some external program. You will
- need to adjust this PostScript code such that it works with
- |pdflatex| (which is not always possible).
-\item
- If you used fine-grained spacing commands, like adding a little
- horizontal skip here and a big negative vertical skip there, the
- typesetting of the text may be poor. It may be a good idea to just
- remove these spacing commands.
-\item
- If you use |pstricks| commands, you will either have to stick to
- using |latex| and |dvips| or will have to work around them using,
- for example, |pgf|. Porting lots of |pstricks| code is bound to be
- difficult, if you wish to switch over to |pdflatex|, so be warned.
-\item
- If the file cannot be compiled because some \prosper\ command is not
- implemented, you will have to delete this command and try to mimick
- its behaviour using some \beamer\ command.
-\end{itemize}
-
-
-\begin{package}{{beamerprosper}}
- Include this package in a |beamer| presentation to get access to
- \prosper\ commands. Use |beamer| as the document class, not
- |prosper|. Most of the options passed to the class |prosper| make no
- sense in |beamer|, so just delete them.
-
- This package takes the following options:
- \begin{itemize}
- \item
- \declare{|framesassubsections|} causes each frame to create its
- own subsection with the frame title as subsection name. This
- behaviour mimicks \textsc{ha}-\textsc{prosper}'s behaviour. In a
- long talk this will create way too many subsections.
- \end{itemize}
-
- \articlenote
- The |framesassubsections| option has no effect in |article| mode.

-\end{package}
-
-In the following, the effect of \prosper\ commands in \beamer\ are
-listed.
-
-\begin{command}{\email\marg{text}}
- Simply typesets its argument in typewriter text. Should hence be
- given \emph{inside} the |\author| command.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\institution\marg{text}}
- This command is mapped to \beamer's |\institute|
- command if given \emph{outside} the |\author| command, otherwise it
- typesets its argument in a smaller font.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\Logo\opt{|(|\meta{x}|,|\meta{y}|)|}\marg{logo text}}
- This is mapped to |\logo{|\meta{logo text}|}|. The coordinates are ignored.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{environment}{{slides}\oarg{options}\marg{frame title}}
- Inserts a frame with the |fragile=singleslide| option set. The
- \meta{frame title} will be enclosed in a |\frametitle| command.
-
- The following \meta{options} may be given:
- \begin{itemize}
- \item
- \declare{|trans=|\meta{prosper transition}} installs the specified
- \meta{prosper transition} as the transition effect when showing
- the slide.
- \item
- \declare{\meta{prosper transition}} has the same effect as
- |trans=|\meta{prosper transition}.
- \item
- \declare{|toc=|\meta{entry}} overrides the subsection table of
- contents entry created by this slide by \meta{entry}. Note that a
- subsection entry is created for a slide only if the
- |framesassubsections| options is specified.
- \item
- \declare{|template|=\meta{text}} is ignored.
- \end{itemize}
-
- \example The following two texts have the same effect:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-\begin{slide}[trans=Glitter,toc=short]{A Title}
- Hi!
-\end{slide}
-\end{verbatim}
-
- and
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-\subsection{short} % omitted, if framesassubsections is not specified
-\begin{frame}[fragile=singleslide]
- \transglitter
- \frametitle{A Title}
- Hi!
-\end{frame}
-\end{verbatim}
-\end{environment}
-
-
-\begin{command}{\overlays\marg{number}\marg{slide environment}}
- This will put the \meta{slide environment} into a frame that does
- not have the |fragile| option and which can hence contain
- overlayed text. The \meta{number} is ignored since the number of
- necessary overlays is computed automatically by \beamer.
-
- \example The following code fragments have the same effect:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-\overlays{2}{
-\begin{slide}{A Title}
- \begin{itemstep}
- \item Hi!
- \item Ho!
- \end{itemstep}
-\end{slide}}
-\end{verbatim}
-
- and
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-\subsection{A Title} % omitted, if framesassubsections is not specified
-\begin{frame}
- \frametitle{A Title}
- \begin{itemstep}
- \item Hi!
- \item Ho!
- \end{itemstep}
-\end{frame}
-\end{verbatim}
-\end{command}
-
-
-\begin{command}{\fromSlide\marg{slide number}\marg{text}}
- This is mapped to |\uncover<|\meta{slide number}|->{|\meta{text}|}|.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\fromSlide|*|\marg{slide number}\marg{text}}
- This is mapped to |\only<|\meta{slide number}|->{|\meta{text}|}|.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\onlySlide\marg{slide number}\marg{text}}
- This is mapped to |\uncover<|\meta{slide number}|>{|\meta{text}|}|.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\onlySlide|*|\marg{slide number}\marg{text}}
- This is mapped to |\only<|\meta{slide number}|>{|\meta{text}|}|.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\untilSlide\marg{slide number}\marg{text}}
- This is mapped to |\uncover<-|\meta{slide number}|>{|\meta{text}|}|.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\untilsSlide|*|\marg{slide number}\marg{text}}
- This is mapped to |\only<-|\meta{slide number}|>{|\meta{text}|}|.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\FromSlide\marg{slide number}}
- This is mapped to |\onslide<|\meta{slide number}|->|.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\OnlySlide\marg{slide number}}
- This is mapped to |\onslide<|\meta{slide number}|>|.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\UntilSlide\marg{slide number}}
- This is mapped to |\onslide<-|\meta{slide number}|>|.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\slideCaption\marg{text}}
- This is mapped to |\date{|\meta{text}|}|.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\fontTitle\marg{text}}
- Simply inserts \meta{text}.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\fontText\marg{text}}
- Simply inserts \meta{text}.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\PDFtransition\marg{prosper transition}}
- Maps the \meta{prosper transition} to an appropriate |\transxxxx|
- command.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{environment}{{Itemize}}
- This is mapped to |itemize|.
-\end{environment}
-
-\begin{environment}{{itemstep}}
- This is mapped to |itemize| with the option |[<+->]|.
-\end{environment}
-
-\begin{environment}{{enumstep}}
- This is mapped to |enumerate| with the option |[<+->]|.
-\end{environment}
-
-\begin{command}{\hiddenitem}
- This is mapped to |\addtocounter{beamerpauses}{1}|.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\prosperpart\oarg{options}\marg{text}}
- This command has the same effect as \prosper's |\part|
- command. \beamer's normal |\part| command retains its normal
- semantics. Thus, you might wish to replace all occurrences of |\part|
- by |\prosperpart|.
-\end{command}
-
-
-\begin{command}{\tsection\opt{|*|}\marg{section name}}
- Creates a section named \meta{section name}. The star, if present,
- is ignored.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\tsectionandpart\opt{|*|}\marg{part text}}
- Mapped to a |\section| command followed by a |\prosperpart|
- command.
-
- \articlenote
- In |article| mode, no part page is added.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\dualslide\oarg{x}\oarg{y}\oarg{z}\marg{options}\marg{left
- column}\marg{right column}}
- This command is mapped to a |columns| environment. The \meta{left
- column} text is shown in the left column, the \meta{right column}
- text is shown in the right column. The options \meta{x}, \meta{y},
- and \meta{z} are ignored. Also, all \emph{options} are ignored,
- except for \declare{|lcolwidth=|} and \declare{|rcolwidth=|}. These
- set the width of the left or right column, respectively.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\PDForPS\marg{PostScript text}\marg{PDF text}}
- Inserts either the \meta{PostScript text} or the \meta{PDF text},
- depending on whether |latex| or |pdflatex| is used. When porting,
- the \meta{PDF text} will most likely be \emph{incorrect}, since in
- \prosper\ the \meta{PDF text} is actually PostScript text that is
- later transformed to \pdf\ by some external program.
-
- If the \meta{PDF text} contains an |\includegraphics| command (which
- is its usual use), you should change the name of the graphic file
- that is included to a name ending |.pdf|, |.png|, or
- |.jpg|. Typically, you will have to convert your graphic to this
- format.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\onlyInPDF\meta{PDF text}}
- The \meta{PDF text} is only included if |pdflatex| is used. The same
- as for the command |\PDForPS| applies here.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\onlyInPS\meta{PS text}}
- The \meta{PS text} is only included if |latex| is used.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{environment}{{notes}\marg{title}}
- Mapped to |\note{\textbf{|\meta{title}|}|\meta{environment contents}|}|
- (more or less).
-\end{environment}
-
-The following commands are parsed by \beamer, but have no effect:
-\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt\parskip=0pt
-\item |\myitem|,
-\item |\FontTitle|,
-\item |\FontText|,
-\item |\ColorFoot|,
-\item |\DefaultTransition|,
-\item |\NoFrenchBabelItemize|,
-\item |\TitleSlideNav|,
-\item |\NormalSlideNav|,
-\item |\HAPsetup|,
-\item |\LeftFoot|, and
-\item |\RightFoot|.
-\end{itemize}
-
-
-
-
-\subsection{Seminar}
-\label{section-seminar}
-
-The package |beamerseminar| maps a subset of the commands of the \seminar\
-package to \beamer. As for \prosper, the emulation cannot be
-perfect. For example, no portrait slides are supported, no
-automatic page breaking, the framing of slides is not
-emulated. Unfortunately, for all frames (|slide| environments) that
-contain overlays, you have to put the environment into a |frame|
-environment ``by hand'' and must remove all occurrences of |\newslide|
-inside the environment by closing the slide and opening a new one (and
-then putting these into |frame| environments).
-
-The workflow for the migration is the following:
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item
- Use the document class |beamer|, not |seminar|. Most options
- passed to |seminar| do not apply to |beamer| and should be
- omitted.
-\item
- If you copy parts of a presentation that is mixed with normal text,
- add the |ignorenonframetext| option and place \emph{every} |slide|
- environment inside a |frame| since \beamer\ will not recognize the
- |\begin{slide}| as the beginning of a frame.
-\item
- Add a |\usepackage{beamerseminar}| to start the emulation. Add the
- option |accumulate| if you wish to create a presentation to be held
- with a video projector.
-\item
- Possibly add commands to install themes and templates.
-\item
- The should be not commands in the preamble having to do with
- page and slide styles. They do not apply to |beamer|.
-\item
- If a |\newslide| command is used in a |slide| (or similarly
- |slide*|) environment that contains an overlay, you must replace it
- by a closing |\end{slide}| and an opening |\begin{slide}|.
-\item
- Next, for each |slide| or |slide*| environment that contains an
- overlay, you must place a |frame| environment around it. You can
- remove the |slide| environment (and hence effectively replace it by
- |frame|), unless you use the |accumulate| option.
-\item
- If you use |\section| or |\subsection| commands inside slides, you
- will have to move them \emph{outside} the frames. It may then be
- necessary to add a |\frametitle| command to the slide.
-\item
- If you use pdf\LaTeX\ to typeset the presentation, you cannot
- include PostScript files. You should convert them to |.pdf| or to
- |.png| and adjust any usage of |\includegraphics| accordingly.
-\item
- When starting to change things, you can use all of \beamer's
- commands and even mix them with \seminar\ commands.
-\end{enumerate}
-
-An example can be found in the file |beamerexample-seminar.tex|.
-
-There are, unfortunately, numerous places where you may run into
-problems:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item
- The whole |note| management of |seminar| is so different from
- |beamer|'s, that you will have to edit notes ``by hand.'' In
- particular, commands like |\ifslidesonly| and |\ifslide| may not do
- exactly what you expect.
-\item
- If you use |pstricks| commands, you will either have to stick to
- using |latex| and |dvips| or will have to work around them using,
- for example, |pgf|. Porting lots of |pstricks| code is bound to be
- difficult, if you wish to switch over to |pdflatex|, so be warned.
-\item
- If the file cannot be compiled because some \seminar\ command is not
- implemented, you will have to delete this command and try to mimick
- its behaviour using some \beamer\ command.
-\end{itemize}
-
-\begin{package}{{beamerseminar}}
- Include this package in a |beamer| presentation to get access to
- \seminar\ commands. Use |beamer| as the document class, not
- |seminar|. Most of the options passed to the class |seminar| make no
- sense in |beamer|, so just delete them.
-
- This package takes the following options:
- \begin{itemize}
- \item
- \declare{|accumulate|} causes overlays to be accumulated. The
- original behaviour of the \seminar\ package is that in each
- overlay only the really ``new'' part of the overlay is shown. This
- makes sense, if you really print out the overlays on
- transparencies and then really stack overlays on top of each
- other. For a presentation with a video projector, you rather
- want to present an ``accumulated'' version of the overlays. This
- is what this option does: When the new material of the $i$th
- overlay is shown, the material of all previous overlays is also
- shown.
- \end{itemize}
-

-
-\let\heading=\frametitle
-
-\begin{document}
-
-\begin{frame}
- \maketitle
-\end{frame}
-
-This is some text outside any frame. It will only be shown in the
-article version.
-
-\begin{frame}
- \begin{slide}
- \heading{This is a frame title.}
-
- \begin{enumerate}
- {\overlay1
- \item Overlays are a little tricky in seminar.
- {\overlay2
- \item But it is possible to use them in beamer.
- }
- }
- \end{enumerate}
- \end{slide}
-\end{frame}
-\end{document}
-\end{verbatim}
-
- You can use all normal \beamer\ commands and concepts, like
- overlay-specifications, in the file. You can also create an
- |article| version by using the class |article| and
- including the package |beamerarticle|.
-\end{package}
-
-In the following, the effect of \seminar\ commands in \beamer\ are
-listed.
-
-\begin{command}{\overlay\marg{number}}
- Shows the material till the end of the current \TeX\ group only on
- overlay numbered $\hbox{\meta{number}}+1$ or, if the |accumulate|
- option is given, from that overlay on. Usages of this command may be
- nested (as in \seminar). If an |\overlay| command is given inside
- another, it temporarily ``overrules'' the outer one as demonstrated
- in the following example, where it is assumed that the |accumulate|
- option is given.
-
- \example
-\begin{verbatim}
-\begin{frame}
- \begin{slide}
- This is shown from the first slide on.
- {\overlay{2}
- This is shown from the third slide on.
- {\overlay{1}
- This is shown from the second slide on.
- }
- This is shown once more from the third slide on.
- }
- \end{slide}
-\end{frame}
-\end{verbatim}
-\end{command}
-
-
-\begin{environment}{{slide}\opt{|*|}}
- Mainly installs an |\overlay{0}| around the \meta{environment
- contents}. If the |accumulate| option is given, this has no
- effect, but otherwise it will cause the main text of the slide to be
- shown \emph{only} on the first slide. This is useful if you really
- wish to physically place slides on top of each other.
-
- The starred version does the same as the nonstarred one.
-
- If this command is not issued inside a |\frame|, it sets up a frame
- with the |fragile=singleframe| option set. Thus, this frame will
- contain only a single slide.
-
- \example
-\begin{verbatim}
-\begin{slide}
- Some text.
-\end{slide}
-
-\frame{
-\begin{slide}
- Some text. And an {\overlay{1} overlay}.
-\end{slide}
-}
-\end{verbatim}
-\end{environment}
-
-\begin{command}{\red}
- Mapped to |\color{red}|.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\blue}
- Mapped to |\color{blue}|.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\green}
- Mapped to |\color{green}|.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\ifslide}
- True in the |presentation| modes, false in the |article| mode.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\ifslidesonly}
- Same as |\ifslide|.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\ifarticle}
- False in the |presentation| modes, true in the |article| mode.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\ifportrait}
- Always false.
-\end{command}
-
-The following commands are parsed by \beamer, but have no effect:
-\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt\parskip=0pt
-\item |\ptsize|.
-\end{itemize}
-
-
-
-\subsection{Foil\TeX}
-\label{section-foiltex}
-
-The package |beamerfoils| maps a subset of the commands of the \foils\
-package to \beamer. Since this package defines only few non-standard
-\TeX\ commands and since \beamer\ implements all the standard
-commands, the emulation layer is pretty simple.
-
-A copyright notice: The Foil\TeX\ package has a restricted
-license. For this reason, no example from the \foils\ package is
-included in the \beamer\ class. The emulation itself does not use the
-code of the \foils\ package (rather, it just maps \foils\ commands to
-\beamer\ commands). For this reason, my understanding is that the
-\emph{emulation} offered by the \beamer\ class is ``free'' and legally
-so. IBM has a copyright on the \foils\ class, not on the effect the
-commands of this class have. (At least, that's my understanding of
-things.)
-
-The workflow for the migration is the following:
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item
- Use the document class |beamer|, not |foils|.
-\item
- Add a |\usepackage{beamerfoils}| to start the emulation.
-\item
- Possibly add commands to install themes and templates.
-\item
- If the command |\foilhead| is used inside a |\frame| command or
- |frame| environment, it behaves like |\frametitle|. If it used
- outside a frame, it will start a new frame (with the
- |allowframebreaks| option, thus no overlays are allowed). This frame
- will persist till the next occurrence of |\foilhead| or of the new
- command |\endfoil|. Note that a |\frame| command will \emph{not} end
- a frame started using |\foilhead|.
-\item
- If you rely on automatic frame creation based on |\foilhead|, you
- will need to insert an |\endfoil| before the end of the document to
- end the last frame.
-\item
- If you use pdf\LaTeX\ to typeset the presentation, than you cannot
- include PostScript files. You should convert them to |.pdf| or to
- |.png| and adjust any usage of |\includegraphics| accordingly.
-\item
- Sizes of objects are different in \beamer, since the scaling is done
- by the viewer, not by the class. Thus a framebox of size 6 inches
- will be way too big in a \beamer\ presentation. You will have to
- manually adjust explicit dimension occurring in a foil\TeX\ presentation.
-\end{enumerate}
-
-\begin{package}{{beamerfoils}}
- Include this package in a |beamer| presentation to get access to
- \foils\ commands. Use |beamer| as the document class, not
- |foils|.
-
- \example In the following example, frames are automatically
- created. The |\endfoil| at the end is needed to close the last
- frame.
-\begin{verbatim}
-\documentclass{beamer}
-\usepackage{beamerfoils}
-
-\begin{document}
-
-\maketitle
-
-\foilhead{First Frame}
-
-This is on the first frame.
-\pagebreak
-This is on the second frame, which is a continuation of the first.
-
-\foilhead{Third Frame}
-
-This is on the third frame.
-
-\endfoil
-\end{document}
-\end{verbatim}
-
- \example In this example, frames are manually inserted. No
- |\endfoil| is needed.
-\begin{verbatim}
-\documentclass{beamer}
-\usepackage{beamerfoils}
-
-\begin{document}
-
-\frame{\maketitle}
-
-\frame{
-\foilhead{First Frame}
-This is on the first frame.
-}
-
-\frame{
-\foilhead{Second Frame}
-This is on the second frame.
-}
-\end{document}
-\end{verbatim}
-\end{package}
-
-
-In the following, the effect of \foils\ commands in \beamer\ are
-listed.
-
-\begin{command}{\MyLogo\marg{logo text}}
- This is mapped to |\logo|, though the logo is internally stored,
- such that it can be switched on and off using |\LogoOn| and |\LogoOff|.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\LogoOn}
- Makes the logo visible.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\LogoOff}
- Makes the logo invisible.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\foilhead\oarg{dimension}\marg{frame title}}
- If used inside a |\frame| command or |frame| environment, this is
- mapped to |\frametitle{|\meta{frame title}|}|. If used outside any
- frames, a new frame is started with the option
- |allowframebreaks|. If a frame was previously started using this
- command, it will be closed before the next frame is started. The
- \meta{dimension} is ignored.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\rotatefoilhead\oarg{dimension}\marg{frame title}}
- This command has exactly the same effect as |\foilhead|.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\endfoil}
- This is a command that is \emph{not} available in \foils. In
- \beamer, it can be used to end a frame that has automatically been
- opened using |\foildhead|. This command must be given before the end
- of the document if the last frame was opened using |\foildhead|.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{environment}{{boldequation}\opt{|*|}}
- This is mapped to the |equation| or the |equation*| environment,
- with |\boldmath| switched on.
-\end{environment}
-
-\begin{command}{\FoilTeX}
- Typesets the foil\TeX\ name as in the \foils\ package.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\bm\marg{text}}
- Implemented as in the \foils\ package.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\bmstyle\marg{text}\marg{more text}}
- Implemented as in the \foils\ package.
-\end{command}
-
-The following additional theorem-like environments are predefined:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item |Theorem*|,
-\item |Lemma*|,
-\item |Corollary*|,
-\item |Proposition*|,
-\item |Definition*|.
-\end{itemize}
-For example, the first is defined using |\newtheorem*{Theorem*}{Theorem}|.
-
-The following commands are parsed by \beamer, but have not effect:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item |\leftheader|,
-\item |\rightheader|,
-\item |\leftfooter|,
-\item |\rightfooter|,
-\item |\Restriction|, and
-\item |\marginpar|.
-\end{itemize}

-\subsection{\TeX Power}
-\label{section-texpower}
-
-The package |beamertexpower| maps a subset of the commands of the
-\texpower\ package, due to Stephan Lehmke, to \beamer. This subset is
-currently rather small, so a lot of adaptions may be necessary. Note
-that \texpower\ is not a full class by itself, but a package that
-needs another class, like |seminar| or |prosper| to do the actually
-typesetting. It may thus be necessary to additionally load an
-emulation layer for these also. Indeed, it \emph{might} be possible to
-directly use \texpower\ inside \beamer, but I have not tried
-that. Perhaps this will be possible in the future.
-
-Currently, the package |beamertexpower| mostly just maps the
-|\stepwise| and related commands to appropriate \beamer\ commands. The
-|\pause| command need not be mapped since it is directly implemented
-by \beamer\ anyway.
-
-The workflow for the migration is the following:
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item
- Replace the document class by |beamer|. If the document class is
- |seminar| or |prosper|, you can use the above emulation layers, that
- is, you can include the files |beamerseminar| or |beamerprosper| to
- emulate the class.
-
- All notes on what to do for the emulation of \seminar\ or \prosper\
- also apply here.
-\item
- Additionally, add |\usepackage{beamertexpower}| to start the
- emulation.
-\end{enumerate}
-
-
-\begin{package}{{beamertexpower}}
- Include this package in a |beamer| presentation to get access to the
- \texpower\ commands having to do with the |\stepwise| command.
-\end{package}
-
-A note on the |\pause| command: Both \beamer\ and \texpower\ implement
-this command and they have the same semantics; so there is no need to
-map this command to anything different in |beamertexpower|. However, a
-difference is that |\pause| can be used almost anywhere in \beamer,
-whereas is may only be used in non-nested situations in \texpower. Since
-\beamer\ is only more flexible than \texpower\ here, this will not
-cause problems when porting.
-
-In the following, the effect of \texpower\ commands in \beamer\ are
-listed.
-
-\begin{command}{\stepwise\marg{text}}
- As in \TeX Power, this initiates text in which commands like |\step|
- or |\switch| may be given. Text contained in a |\step| command will
- be enclosed in an |\only| command with the overlay specification
- |<+(1)->|. This means that the text of the first |\step| is inserted
- from the second slide onward, the text of the second |\step| is
- inserted from the third slide onward, and so on.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\parstepwise\marg{text}}
- Same as |\stepwise|, only |\uncover| is used instead of |\only| when
- mapping the |\step| command.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\liststepwise\marg{text}}
- Same as |\stepwise|, only an invisible horizontal line is inserted
- before the \meta{text}. This is presumable useful for solving some
- problems related to vertical spacing in \texpower.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\step\marg{text}}
- This is either mapped to |\only<+(1)->|\meta{text} or to
- |\uncover<+(1)->|\meta{text}, depending on whether this command is
- used inside a |\stepwise| environment or inside a |\parstepwise|
- environment.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\steponce\marg{text}}
- This is either mapped to |\only<+(1)>|\meta{text} or to
- |\uncover<+(1)>|\meta{text}, depending on whether this command is
- used inside a |\stepwise| environment or inside a |\parstepwise|
- environment.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\switch\marg{alternate text}\marg{text}}
- This is mapped to |\alt<+(1)->{|\meta{text}|}{|\meta{alternate
- text}|}|. Note that the arguments are swapped.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\bstep\marg{text}}
- This is always mapped to |\uncover<+(1)->|\meta{text}.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\dstep}
- This just advances the counter |beamerpauses| by one. It has no
- other effect.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\vstep}
- Same as |\dstep|.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\restep\marg{text}}
- Same as |\step|, but the \meta{text} is shown one the same slide as
- the previous |\step| command. This is implemented by first
- decreasing the countern |beamerpauses| by one before calling
- |\step|.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\reswitch\marg{alternate text}\meta{text}}
- Like |\restep|, only for the |\switch| command.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\rebstep\meta{text}}
- Like |\restep|, only for the |\bstep| command.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\redstep}
- This command has no effect.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\revstep}
- This command has no effect.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\boxedsteps}
- Temporarily (for the current \TeX\ group) changes the effect of
- |\step| to issue an |\uncover|, even if used inside a |\stepwise|
- environment.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\nonboxedsteps}
- Temporarily (for the current \TeX\ group) changes the effect of
- |\step| to issue an |\only|, even if used inside a |\parstepwise|
- environment.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\code\marg{text}}
- Typesets the argument using a boldface typewriter font.
-\end{command}
-
-\begin{command}{\codeswitch}
- Switches to a boldface typewriter font.
-\end{command}
