Did you ever wrote too much content for a frame? Did that content spill out of the slide? Were you too bored to create a new slide and split the content between them? If the answer is yes, which most probably is, you will love the allowframebreaks parameter for the…
We most certainly do! For that reason we needed to make the template for the notes as simple as possible. To avoid developing our own template for the notes page, we used one of the three basic predefined templates named plain. Using plain we got an empty slide in the…
The following snippet will create a table of contents which will show the titles of all sections but it will include the subsections that belong to the current section only. This way, we can copy paste this slide in different parts of the presentation and have a custom table of…
