Document Classes ⇒ Bibliography in Beamer LaTeX

[renno]

Hi all,

I wanted to include a list of publications at the end of my presentation. The problem is that the "bibliography entry title" and "bibliography title journal" are starting at a new paragraph. How would I get the whole "bibitem" to appear on the same running line.

I tried to find the "\newblock" command to try to modify it but without luck. Actually, is the new paragraph due to the "\newblock" command or to the "bibliography entry title" and "bibliography entry journal" templates?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

The definition of the thebibliography environment and \newblock command is given in beamerbaselocalstructure.sty. Here one sees that \newblock is defined as \beamer@newblock, which, in turn, is defined in terms of several beamer templates, specially bibliography entry article, bibliography entry title, bibliography entry location and bibliography entry note. These templates are set by the inner theme loaded. I've checked that, for these matters, all of them rely on the default one (see beamerinnerthemedefault.sty). The bibliography entry templates are defined as follows:

Code: Select all

\defbeamertemplate*{bibliography entry article}{default}{}
\defbeamertemplate*{bibliography entry title}{default}{\par}
\defbeamertemplate*{bibliography entry location}{default}{\par}
\defbeamertemplate*{bibliography entry note}{default}{\par}

The \par command causes the line breaks you see in the bibliography. So, it suffices to redefine these templates. Write this in the preamble:

Code: Select all

\setbeamertemplate{bibliography entry title}{}
\setbeamertemplate{bibliography entry location}{}
\setbeamertemplate{bibliography entry note}{}

That's all.

Dear Juanjo,

Thank you very much. This is great and saves some space too.

Take care.

Hi Juanjo,

I'm pursue on the subject:
I would like to delete the "bibliography entry title", I think it is put in
"./beamerbaselocalstructure.sty" but I don't find an easy way.

Do you have a solution ?
Thanks,
Adrien

I find a solution.

To delete the title, you need to modify the .bst file and delete the creation of the title in the .bbl file.

Hope it would be useful,
Adrien
