- HellDunkel 3y agoThx. I use LaTex occasionally but have to stick with pp. Looking to improve my non technical communication skills.
- mbork_pl 3y agoThat's why I mentioned Beamer's docs. There is a very good tool-agnostic chapter in them.
- HellDunkel 3y agoLooked it up. You mean the chapter „Guidelines for Creating Presentation“?
- mbork_pl 3y agoYes. It's full of wisdom and humor. ;-) I loved especially this gem: > Never, ever reuse a paper abstract for a presentation, except if the abstract is “We show P = NP” or “We show P ≠ NP”.
- treffer 3y agoThe beamer package manual had nice hints, like ~1 page just about font size. With statements like > In beamer, the default sizes of the fonts are chosen in a way that makes it difficult to fit “too much” onto a slide. Many of the ideas apply outside of latex/beamer. It's one of the better free documents about the technical aspects of slides. At least if the presentation is still driven by content on the slides, but that decision is a whole different story.
- ewuhic 3y agoAny chance to achieve similar results with goold old (new) PowerPoint?
- Aerbil313 3y agoTypst with Polylux (inspired by Beamer) is a nice alternative.
