Look at the standard book class. \chapter contains (inside its expansion) \thispagestyle{plain} while the whole book uses \pagestyle{headings} The idea is to define a page style for the first slide, another style for other slides and (if needed) a style for the last slide. The environment will use \markright or \markboth to set the slide name. At the beginning the envirnoment will say:
\pagestyle{slides} \thispagestyle{firstslide} At the end (if needed) the environment should insert \thispagestyle{lastslide} You can either rad how to define the page style in the raw way or you can use a higher level package such as fancyheadings. No other package is needed. I like what Ada Adelaida Contess of Lovelace said: It [Babbage's analytical engine] has no pretentions to originate anything but it can do whatever you know how to order it. > However, I found the following on Stack Exchange, which approximates > what I'm after, but I'm not sure how to augment it for my purposes: > http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/63847/64528 > > Any pointers would be much appreciated. > > I'd really like to read some good documentation on such TeX packages, > but all I've found so far are either introductions to writing documents, > which treats TeX like a markup language, or or the rather dense > documentaion on the individual packages, which treat TeX like a > programming language -- nothing to really explain how one bridges to the > other. > > Thanks for your time. > > -- > Paul W.
