Beamer slides formatting

Post by gozzi84 »

I'm using the Beamer package for creating the slides for my dissertatio.

I've chosed the PaloAlto theme... I have a question about the alignement of the items in an itemize "loop".

How can I do if I want them to be aligned with the left margin (in line I mean with a paragraph without the itemize?

Hope I explained weel the point

thanks

Well, I frankly didn't understand what is it that you expect to achieve. Can you please try to describe more precisely your question?

By default, beamer suppresses indentation, so new paragraphs will behave as you expect:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{PaloAlto}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text

First line.

Second line.

Third line.
\end{frame}

\end{document}
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,...

I think what gozzi84 is asking for is how to remove indentation within the itemize environment. That is, you still get the bullet points but they are not indented. I don't know the answer, but perhaps someone else here does.

Hi,

if it is as curiouslearn says, then redefining \itemindent will be enough:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{PaloAlto}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text
\begin{itemize}
  \renewcommand\itemindent{-10pt}
  \item First line.
  \item Second line.
  \item Third line.
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\end{document}
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,...
