latex-presentation's Introduction

Minimalist LaTeX Template for Academic Presentations

This repository contains a LaTeX template to create an academic presentation. The template uses the Beamer class. The template carefully follows typographical best practices and has a minimalist design. The template is particularly well suited for research presentations. It is designed to convey scientific arguments and results effectively.

Documentation

The template is documented at https://pascalmichaillat.org/d1/.

Illustration

The presentation produced by the template can be viewed at https://pascalmichaillat.org/d1.pdf.

Usage

Clone the repository to your local machine.
Start editing the LaTeX file presentation.tex to replace the boilerplate content with the content of your presentation.
Replace the figures in the PDF file figures.pdf with the figures that will be included in the presentation. There should be one figure per page.
Compile presentation.tex with pdfTeX. This will generate a new PDF file named presentation.pdf.
The LaTeX style file presentation.sty collects all the commands to format the presentation. The file must be included in the same folder as presentation.tex. It can be modified to alter the presentation's format.
The file presentation.pdf is not required to use the template. It only illustrate the output of the template, and will be overridden once presentation.tex is compiled.

Software

The template was developed, tested, and validated on a Mac with the MacTeX-2023 distribution.

While the template should also work on other operating systems and with other LaTeX distributions, compatibility cannot be guaranteed. Users on Windows or Linux systems, or those using different LaTeX distributions, may need to make minor adjustments. Please report any compatibility issues or bugs you encounter to help improve cross-platform support.

latex-presentation's Issues

Compile error on ubuntu22.04

First thanks for this clean template. I try to use it on Ubuntu 22.04 and texlive 2021 and I have this error

\onehalfspacing ...stretch {1.25}\ifcase \@ptsize \relax \setstretch {1.25}\...l.41 \setbeamertemplate {title page}[default][left,leftskip=-8pt] ./presentation.sty:41: Missing number, treated as zero. <to be read again> \relax l.41 \setbeamertemplate {title page}[default][left,leftskip=-8pt]
I'm not fluent in latex, do you have an idea ?

Allowframebreaks

Hi Pascal, thanks again for the templates. I encountered a bug when trying to break the frames using [allowframebreaks]
When I use it, the title on the second frame does not carry over very well.

\documentclass[12pt]{beamer}

\usepackage{presentation}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}[allowframebreaks]{Title issue with frame breaks}
    \lipsum[2-3]
\end{frame}

\end{document}

For information, my compiler is pdfLaTeX and TeX live version is 2022.
Thanks again!

use of \mathcal for inline mathematical operations

Hi Pascal,

I need to use \mathcal in some of my equations for certain functions and operators, but it doesn't seem to be working correctly. For example:

$\mathcal{f} : \mathcal{x} \mapsto \mathcal{y}$

It doesn't display f or y, although it works fine for x. Could this issue be related to specific hard-coded settings within the template? I haven't received any errors or warnings so far.

Thank you very much.

Remove page number from the title slide

Hi Pascal,
Thank you for sharing your neat template. I would like to remove the page number from only the title page. I tried several things such as redefinition of the footnote for the title page but they did not work. Would you have any suggestions?
Thanks!

itemize settings

Hi Pascal,

I am encountering difficulties while attempting to use the \usepackage{enumitem} package within the template, which is preventing me from making adjustments to the itemize settings. I am looking to remove the white space before the bullets in the itemize environment within some text color boxes, as shown in the image below:

using:

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{research framework}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.825\textwidth]{figures/framework.pdf}

\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
    \node[fill=white, text width=5cm, align=center, inner sep=2pt, draw=black, text=black, font=\sffamily\small] at (3.5,4) {
        \begin{minipage}{5cm} 
            In both spaces:
            \begin{itemize}
                \item Conceptual Benchmark\\ 
                \item Performance Metric:\\
                KGE \citep{gupta2009}
            \end{itemize}
        \end{minipage}
    };
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{frame}

From my research, it appears that most solutions to this issue involve utilizing commands from the enumitem package. However, due to the current limitations of my template, I am unable to use this package.

I was wondering if you could suggest any workarounds or alternative approaches to achieve the desired formatting.
Thank you very much
