People want to know where they are within your presentation. This is why for a class of long presentations, there's an outline slide in the beginning and section headers.
|
||||
|
||||
Separating sections with an additional slide is nice because it not only gives an audience an opportunity for questions, but it also allows you to sneak in a sip of water.
|
||||
|
||||
To accomplish this automatically, thanks to a tip from [James Oswald](https://jamesoswald.dev), we add the following to the preamble of our Beamer file (before the `\begin{document}`)
|
||||
|
||||
```latex
|
||||
\AtBeginSection[]{
|
||||
\begin{frame}
|
||||
\vfill
|
||||
\textbf{\insertsectionhead}
|
||||
\vfill
|
||||
\end{frame}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This produces the following slide right after your `\section{}` code:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Which for me and my template is equivalent to if I typed this in the beginning of each section:
|
||||
|
||||
```latex
|
||||
\begin{frame}
|
||||
\textbf{First Awesome Section}
|
||||
\end{frame}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Saving a little bit of typing is always nice :)
|
||||
|
||||
My slide is fairly bare-bones, another cool approach [shows the entire table of contents with every other section faded out.](https://statisticaloddsandends.wordpress.com/2019/02/18/beamer-inserting-section-slides-before-each-section/)
