Titlepage

A titlepage is indeed a special slide rather than a special environment.

It is designed to be a special slide where is extremely easy to have a plain slide theme in order to build a special slide. Indeed all slide are easily customizable, as you seen in the following, but a titlepage can start from a plain theme rather than the default one. To define a titlepage the syntax is:

#titlepage[plain]

where [plain] is optional and if defined set the titlepage slide theme to the default plain, while if it is not defined the titlepage slide adopts the same theme as you have defined for other slides. The slide title of a titlepage is automatically set to a null string thus it has no sense to use the corresponding metadata. On the contrary all other metadata can be used within a titlepage.

The titlepage of the getting started presentation has been made with the following code:

#titlepage[plain]
