I am writing my first presentation slides with Latex using beamer.  But I run into a silly problem. It is similar to the code below:  \documentclass{beamer} \begin{document}  \begin{frame} \tableofcontents \end{frame}  \begin{frame}[&lt;+-&gt;] \section{First Section} \begin{itemize} \item &lt;1-&gt; First item \item &lt;2-&gt; Second item \item &lt;3-&gt; Third item \item &lt;4-&gt; Forth item \end{itemize} \end{frame}  \end{document}   This results in four sections named First Section. How can you tell Latex that this is only one section?  Thank you in advance!

I'm trying to create my first presentation with the beamer class. I saw that is possible to change the color (for example) of a part of text with overlays. I'm using {\alert{&lt;...&gt;}{text}} to highlight some constants inside a formula, and I noticed some issues:   To have the frame title in the index on the right (for the Goettingen theme) I have to insert a \section{...} with the same title. Is it correct? Because this section seems "useless" to me, since there is already the frame title (however, if this is the case, I'll stick with it). When I use {\alert{&lt;2-&gt;}{text}} it produce another slide inside the frame; this is fine, since it works in the presentation. However, this command creates another title in the index on the right, and this will be shown even in the presentation. Is there a way to have only one item per, let's say, frame in the index created by the theme?   This is my code:  \documentclass{beamer} \let\Tiny=\tiny  \usetheme{Goettingen}  \title{Title} \author{Me} \date{\today}  \begin{document} \begin{frame}     \titlepage \end{frame} \begin{frame}     \frametitle{First frame}     \section{First frame}     \begin{itemize}         \item Item 1         \[{\alpha = \alert&lt;2-&gt;{k_1}}\]         \item Item 2         \[{\alpha = \alert&lt;2-&gt;{k_2}}\]     \end{itemize} \end{frame} \begin{frame}     \frametitle{Second frame}     \section{Second frame}     \begin{itemize}         \item Item 1         \[{\alpha = \alert&lt;2-&gt;{k_1}}\]         \item Item 2         \[{\alpha = \alert&lt;2-&gt;{k_2}}\]     \end{itemize} \end{frame} \end{document}   Thanks to everyone!

\documentclass{beamer} \usetheme{Madrid} \begin{document} \begin{frame} aaa \end{frame} \begin{frame} bbb \end{frame} \end{document}   The above tex file is to be converted into html. I am using the following command   make4ht filename.tex   However it throws error. The basic question is "Is it possible to convert beamer presentation to html using make4ht?"

Beamer's table of contents starts with bullet 1.  How can I change that to bullet 0?  The command \setcounter{section}{-1} in the preamble does not help.

I have a table with 7 columns and want to show the first 5 at once, and then  the 6th and 7th on consecutive slides.  This is the code I have for now:  \begin{frame}{Наслов}     \begin{itemize}         \item Ставка.     \end{itemize}         \begin{tabular}{ccccc&lt;{\onslide&lt;2-&gt;}c&lt;{\onslide}c}             $p_1$ &amp; $p_2$ &amp; $\ldots$ &amp; $p_{9}$ &amp; $p_{10}$ &amp; $W$  &amp; $D$\\             $1$   &amp; $1$   &amp; $\ldots$ &amp; $1$      &amp; $1$     &amp; $w_1$&amp; $d_1$\\             $1$   &amp; $1$   &amp; $\ldots$ &amp; $1$      &amp; $0$     &amp; $w_2$&amp; $d_2$\\             $1$   &amp; $1$   &amp; $\ldots$ &amp; $0$      &amp; $1$     &amp; $w_3$&amp; $d_3$\\             $1$   &amp; $1$   &amp; $\ldots$ &amp; $0$      &amp; $0$     &amp; $w_4$&amp; $d_4$\\             $\vdots$ &amp; $\vdots$ &amp; $\vdots$ &amp; $\vdots$ &amp; $\vdots$ &amp; $\vdots$ &amp; $\vdots$\\             $0$   &amp; $0$   &amp; $\ldots$ &amp; $0$      &amp; $1$     &amp; $w_{1023}$&amp; $d_{1023}$\\             $1$   &amp; $1$   &amp; $\ldots$ &amp; $0$      &amp; $0$     &amp; $w_{1024}$&amp; $d_{1024}$         \end{tabular} \end{frame}   This produces 2 slides: the first one with p1, p2, ..., p9, p10 and D columns, and the second with W added, while I want them to appear in the following order:   1st slide: p1, p2, ..., p9, p10  2nd slide: p1, p2, ..., p9, p10, W 3rd slide: p1, p2, ..., p9, p10, W, D   I looked in the manual and found this example:  \begin{frame}     \begin{tabular}{l!{\vrule}c&lt;{\onslide&lt;2-&gt;}c&lt;{\onslide&lt;3-&gt;}c&lt;{\onslide&lt;4-&gt;}c&lt;{\onslide}c}     Class &amp; A &amp; B &amp; C &amp; D \\     217     X &amp; 1 &amp; 2 &amp; 3 &amp; 4 \\     Y &amp; 3 &amp; 4 &amp; 5 &amp; 6 \\     Z &amp; 5 &amp; 6 &amp; 7 &amp; 8     \end{tabular} \end{frame}   which does what is supposed to. However, I don't seem to be able to apply its logic to my problem. :( Is anyone willing to help?   P.S. What are the meanings of &lt; and ! in columns specification?

I'm trying to continue the numbering of examples in enumerate environments in beamer. For example, I'd like one slide to feature   Foo Bar   and the next slide   Zip Yadda   My strategy so far has been to define a counter that saves the enumerate counter at the end of the first environment and can then be queried to set the enumerate counter at the start of the second enumerate environment. (This is essentially the proposal also found at )  That works wonderfully so long as I don't try to uncover elements of the slide sequentially. The problem, of course, is that as each of the pdf-pages that make up the slide is created, the counter is advanced. Here's a MWE.  \documentclass{beamer}  \setbeamercovered{highly dynamic}  \newcounter{saveenumi} \newcommand{\seti}{\setcounter{saveenumi}{\value{enumi}}} \newcommand{\conti}{\setcounter{enumi}{\value{saveenumi}}}   \begin{document}  \begin{frame}[&lt;+-&gt;]   \begin{enumerate}   \item foo   \item bar%     \seti   \end{enumerate} \end{frame}  \begin{frame}[&lt;+-&gt;]   \begin{enumerate}     \conti   \item zip   \item yadda%     \seti   \end{enumerate} \end{frame}  \end{document}   As the second slide is progressively uncovered (pages 3 and 4 of the resulting PDF), the counter at the beginning of the enumerate environment is advanced each time. So page 3 of the PDF has the right numbering, (3) and (4) respectively, while the fully revealed page has the wrong numbering. Pictures follow:   on one of the slides    on the following one

I am refloating a long-standing Beamer problem and will put a good bounty to it, to see if we can all solve this problem once and for all...  I am following on a previous question I posted , and an  that never got a proper answer, and adding some more information and problems detected just recently.  The problems are related to the navigation links in Beamer presentations WITH NOTES.   If you try to show your notes on the left, navigation links on the top of slides just plain do not work. If you do like I did and switch notes to the right, the links on top work.   BUT STILL WE RUN INTO THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS:   Links in the table of contents do not work at all. You get infinite amounts of the following warnings (one per slide):      destination with the same identifier * has been already used, duplicate ignored   I think this is a really big problem with Beamer, I do not know if it is a bug or it can be solved somehow...  Turning off the links is not an option; though we will remove the warnings, the main reason why some of us use Beamer is for the awesome navigation that takes us quickly to a slide in a big presentation during the questions round.  It would be of great advantage if the navigation feature could be used together with the ability to add notes next to the slides... In fact, I do not understand why this is not possible.  I gave up trying to add the notes on the left, so let's try to make everything work at least with the notes on the right...  With notes on the right, navigation links on top of slides work, but we still need to make navigation in table of contents work too, and get rid of those terribly annoying warnings.  This is a MWE to start playing with:  \documentclass{beamer} \usepackage{pgfpages} \setbeameroption{show notes on second screen=right}%better notes on right  \mode&lt;presentation&gt; {     \usetheme{Singapore} } \begin{document}   \begin{frame}[plain]     \titlepage   \note{     Notes for the title page } \end{frame}   \section*{Outline} \begin{frame}[plain] \frametitle{Outline}     \tableofcontents  \note{     Notes for the table of contents } \end{frame}   \section{Frame 1} \begin{frame} \frametitle{Frame with notes 1}     FIRST FRAME CONTENTS  \note{     Notes for the first frame } \end{frame}   \section{Frame 2} \begin{frame} \frametitle{Frame with notes 2}     SECOND FRAME CONTENTS \note{     Notes for the second frame } \end{frame}   \section{Frame 3} \begin{frame}     \frametitle{Frame with notes 3}     SECOND FRAME CONTENTS     \note{         Notes for the third frame     } \end{frame}   \end{document}   EXTRA BONUS POINTS IF YOU ARE ABLE TO MAKE NAVIGATION WORK IN HANDOUT FORMAT TOO, WHERE NAVIGATION DOES NOT WORK AT ALL! Just use:   \documentclass[handout]{beamer}  \usepackage{pgfpages}  \pgfpagesuselayout{2 on 1}[a4paper,border shrink=5mm]  \setbeameroption{show notes}

I am giving a presentation and therefore I am using the  class. I have included some figures and it works, but there is no number after "Figure".  My code:  \documentclass{beamer}  \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[english]{babel} \usepackage{listings} \usepackage{xcolor} \usepackage{eso-pic} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{url} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{multirow} \usepackage{hyperref} \usepackage{booktabs} \usepackage{wallpaper} \usepackage{bbm} \usepackage{cooltooltips} \usepackage{eso-pic} \usepackage{everyshi} \usepackage{calc} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{ifthen} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{wrapfig} \usepackage{animate} \usepackage[singlespacing]{setspace} \usepackage[absolute,overlay]{textpos} \usepackage{enumerate} \usepackage{hyperref} \newenvironment{changemargin}[2]{%   \begin{list}{}{%     \setlength{\topsep}{0pt}%     \setlength{\leftmargin}{#1}%     \setlength{\rightmargin}{#2}%     \setlength{\listparindent}{\parindent}%     \setlength{\itemindent}{\parindent}%     \setlength{\parsep}{\parskip}%   }%   \item[]}{\end{list}}  \setbeamercolor{frametitle}{fg=red,bg=white}  \hypersetup{pdfpagemode=FullScreen} \renewcommand*{\UrlFont}{\normalfont}  \usetheme{Goettingen} \useinnertheme{circles} \beamertemplatenavigationsymbolsempty  \setbeamerfont{page number in head/foot}{size=\large} \setbeamertemplate{footline}[frame number]   %%% \begin{document}  \frame[plain]{ \titlepage }  \setbeamertemplate{background canvas}[default]  \frame{ \frametitle{}  \begin{figure} \begin{center} \includegraphics[scale=0.2]{varweakness} \caption{VaR as a quantile} \end{center} \end{figure}  }   \end{document}   Which gives the following frame with the figure:    (I am not sure what is causing the problem, therefore I did not delete any package.)  How can I get a number, e.g. Figure 1:?

How can I create a fancy-looking table of contents for a Beamer presentation?    \documentclass{beamer} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}  \begin{document}  \frame{ \tableofcontents }  \section{Foo bar} \frame{} \section{Foo bar} \frame{} \section{Foo bar} \frame{} \section{Foo bar} \frame{} \section{Foo bar} \frame{} \section{Foo bar} \frame{} \section{Foo bar} \frame{}  \end{document}

I've come across some strange interaction between overlay specification and \pause. Basically I have an itemize and after some text(or block). I want to step through the itemize and after that show the text/block.  I've tried to put a simple \pause between the itemize and the text, but in this way two slides are created, both with the full itemize and no text.  If I don't put the \pause the text is visible from the start(which I don't want).  I've already found a simple work-around: instead of using itemize[&lt;+-&gt;] I can specify the slides on the items(e.g item&lt;1-&gt;, ...item&lt;2-&gt;,... \pause), but I don't like this solution for some reasons:   I have to type more than before I have to hard-code the slide numbers This is solution is not robust. Modification on the item order, removal or addition of new items would break it. I think there has to be some better solution.   So, how should I do?  By the way, a minimal example:  \documentclass{beamer}  \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage{default}  \begin{document}  \begin{frame}     \begin{itemize}[&lt;+-&gt;]         \item A         \item B         \item C     \end{itemize}      \pause  % double pause here      Some text. \end{frame}  \end{document}

I have the following LaTeX code:  \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \begin{description}  \item[foo] bar  \item[baz]  bang  \end{description}  \end{document}   and it produces the following PDF:    I want the definition of the item (in this case the "bar" and the "bang") to be on a separate line from the item (eg the "foo" and the "baz").  However this is part of a system that autogenerates documention, so I can't change the source code. I can put style things in the header of each documention, so I need some sort of LaTeX command that will make all definition list (in LaTeX speak, a "descripition list") go onto a new line.

I want to include a sequence of images in Beamer (although it can be in another type of document). Something similar to the option Photo Album in LibreOffice and MS PowerPoint.  What I did is to make a template (that I can modify):  %s \begin{frame}     \frametitle{%s}     \framesubtitle{%s}     \centering     \includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth]{%s}  \end{frame}   And then I use a Python script to generate the code for each frame, like this:  tex_file = open(filename + '.tex', 'a+') for name in list_files:     print &gt;&gt; tex_file, s1 %(comment, title, subtitle, name)  tex_file.close()   After that I just use an \include in my main file to add the sequence of images.   My question: Is there a package for this task? or a better way to do it?

With a regular article/report/... class, you can use the showframe package to draw outlines of where the various regions of the page lie.  I cannot get the same functionality with beamer, however.  Using geometry with its showframe option similarly does not work.  How can I get this functionality with beamer?  MWE:  \documentclass{beamer}  %\usepackage[showframe]{geometry}  % Doesn't work \usepackage{showframe}             % Doesn't work  \begin{document}  \begin{frame}{Slide Title} \centering Centered Text \end{frame}  \end{document}   Edit:  A similar question is posed  that asks for a diagram depicting the layout of the page with lengths of various parameters given.  The \layout package gives this output when applied to the MWE:    While this output gives margin information and general layout information, it does not give the visual output that I am looking for, with boxes overlaid on my own content. I am less interested in seeing the value of margins and other lengths than I am in visualizing the fit of my own content on the slide and seeing how close the boxes actually are to content.  This is why I desire functionality more close to what the showframe package would provide.

I'm new to latex, I'm thankful if someone can give me an example script to customize TOC that looks like  Chapter 1.XXXXXX                                                            (1-15)  1.1 Introduction 1.2 xxxxxxxx 1.3 xxxxxxxxxx 1.4 xxxxxxx ...............  Chapter 2.xxxxxxx  2.1 xxxxx ......                                                           (16-30)  because the (default) TOC appears to be very large for my book, since it arranges the section name row-by-row.

Good day! So, I need to present my disertation code to my thesis advisors, but I'm quite unsure how to actually do it in a proper way. I found  showing some ideas.  Is there a way of making the slides 48-67 in beamer without using tikz? Any ideas to implement the whole ideas the author propose?  Thanks in advance.

I am trying to produce a presentation where code for a pair of arrays appear in the same position of a beamer slide.  I tried something like this (with different combinations and braces) and did not work.  \begin{verbatim}\only&lt;1&gt;       V1 V2 V3 V4 [1,]  0  1  1  0 [2,]  1  0  1  0 [3,]  1  1  0  0 [4,]  0  0  0  0   \only&lt;2&gt;       V1 V2 V3 V4 [1,]  0  1  0  0 [2,]  1  0  1  0 [3,]  0  0  0  0 [4,]  0  0  0  0  \end{verbatim}    Appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks!

The following latex code prints rows one at a time. However all the cells of the rows don't come out aligned. How can I fix it.   \documentclass{beamer}     \usepackage{tabularx}    \begin{document}  \begin{frame}{}  \begin{tabularx}{3.50in}{lXX}           \hline           &amp; Observation &amp; Conclusion \\           \hline             \uncover&lt;2-&gt;{1.} &amp; \uncover&lt;2-&gt;{Observation 1 } &amp; \uncover&lt;2-&gt;{Conclusion 1} \\   \uncover&lt;3-&gt;{2.} &amp; \uncover&lt;3-&gt;{Observation 2} &amp; \uncover&lt;3-&gt;{Conclusion 2} \\           \end{tabularx}      \end{frame}   \end{document}   The output looks as follows :    As we can see cells in first column do not align with the rest of the rows. Will appreciate any input as to how to fix this.

I find this classic figure of LaTeX's page geometry very helpful:     Source:   Now, I am fiddling with some beamer slides and I could really use such an overview of beamer's slide layout. Does it exist anywhere? I have not been able to find it...  For now, I need it to figure out how to get the height of a frame's body.
