This respository contains a Beamer LaTeX template designed for presentations by members of the médialab.
Once you clone / download this repository onto your computer, you can edit the main.tex file and add slides and/or sections to your presentation.
At the top of the main.tex file, edit the bibliographic information about your presentation. Update the title, subtitle, date, and author fields. Change the text in {Firstname Lastname} to your name.
%%% Modify the presentation's bibliographic details

}Still in the preamble of the main.tex file, you can insert 1 logo of your project's partners.
To do this, add a PNG image file to the folder img/ and replace the path in {theme/logos/partner-logo.png} with a path to the partner's logo.
If you don't want to show a partner logo, change \setcounter{PartnerLogo}{1} to \setcounter{PartnerLogo}{0}.
%%% Reset the logo of the Partner group
\def\PartnerLogo{theme/logos/partner-logo.png}
% If you don't have a partner, set the PartnerLogo count to 0
% If you have a partner, set the PartnerLogo count to 1
\setcounter{PartnerLogo}{1}
The main.tex file is meant to be minimal and imports most of the presentation's slides from LaTeX files in the Sections/ folder. To add the section to the outline, add \section{Your Section Name} to the main.tex file. Then import the frames from a LaTeX file. In the example given, the first section is titled "Section A" and the LaTeX file that has the section's slides is located at Sections/SectionA.tex. Notice that, when importing files, you don't add the .tex extension to the end of the file name.
\section{Section A}
\input{Sections/SectionA}If you're writing your slides in imported section files, you don't need to add any preamble, \begin{document}, etc. All of that is in the main.tex file. The imported file simply has the beamer slides you want in that section. From the top of the file, it can simply begin like this:
\begin{frame}{Description}
\lipsum[1]
\end{frame}If you want to add subsections, you'll add them to the section file.
\subsection{Description}
\begin{frame}{Description of Problem}
\lipsum[1]
\end{frame}An easy way to edit and compile LaTeX in a code editor is to use the Visual Studio Code's extension LaTeX Workshop (James-Yu.latex-workshop).
Once installed, Visual Studio code should recognize this template's LaTeX files and, when you have one open, a green right-facing arrow should be available at the top of the window. Click the arrow to compile the code, and click the preview button next to the arrow to open a side panel showing the results written to the PDF file. Alternatively, simply saving an open LaTeX file should automatically recompile the code.
