Text Formatting ⇒ beamer | Automatic Indentation

[latexhelp1]

I have a quotation that I'm showing in beamer. The author and such for the quote is long. I am wondering if there is a way to automatically format at it so it indents and the 2nd line of the quote would be indented to? That is, like an automatic word wrap.

In the following, I'm wondering whether the word multiple could be aligned with Author. Not because there is something special about the word multiple. But, in the .pdf, it is what appears on the 2nd line. And, I'm wondering whether it is possible to have it aligned with the first line text, Author. But to do this in a way that is automatic.

Here is the code. I pray that it is a minimum working example. I'm also attaching the compiled .pdf.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[professionalfont]{beamer}
\mode<presentation>


\begin{document}

\section{Section 1}
\subsection{}

\frame
{
\frametitle{Slide Title}
``Quotation here.''

\vspace{0.1cm}
\hspace{0.25cm}-- Author (2011), \textit{The name of the journal is so long that it occupies multiple lines in the beamer file}
}

\end{document}

Thank you very much for any help you can provide.

Hi,

you could use a tabbing or tabular environment. However, here it would be easy to simply use parbox, with top alignment (optional argument t), such as

Code: Select all

\hfill -- \parbox[t]{.9\textwidth}{Author (2011),
  \textit{The name of the journal is so long that it occupies
  multiple lines in the beamer file}}
