Files
Compile Beamer LaTeX Slides
Compile a Beamer slide deck using XeLaTeX with full citation resolution.
Steps
1. Navigate to Slides/ directory and compile with 3-pass sequence:
cd Slides
TEXINPUTS=../Preambles:$TEXINPUTS xelatex -interaction=nonstopmode $ARGUMENTS.tex
BIBINPUTS=..:$BIBINPUTS bibtex $ARGUMENTS
TEXINPUTS=../Preambles:$TEXINPUTS xelatex -interaction=nonstopmode $ARGUMENTS.tex
TEXINPUTS=../Preambles:$TEXINPUTS xelatex -interaction=nonstopmode $ARGUMENTS.texAlternative (latexmk):
cd Slides
TEXINPUTS=../Preambles:$TEXINPUTS BIBINPUTS=..:$BIBINPUTS latexmk -xelatex -interaction=nonstopmode $ARGUMENTS.tex2. Check for warnings:
- Grep output for
Overfull \\hboxwarnings - Grep for
undefined citationsorLabel(s) may have changed - Report any issues found
3. Open the PDF for visual verification:
open Slides/$ARGUMENTS.pdf # macOS
# xdg-open Slides/$ARGUMENTS.pdf # Linux4. Report results:
- Compilation success/failure
- Number of overfull hbox warnings
- Any undefined citations
- PDF page count
Why 3 passes?
1. First xelatex: Creates .aux file with citation keys 2. bibtex: Reads .aux, generates .bbl with formatted references 3. Second xelatex: Incorporates bibliography 4. Third xelatex: Resolves all cross-references with final page numbers
Important
- Always use XeLaTeX, never pdflatex
- TEXINPUTS is required: your Beamer theme lives in
Preambles/ - BIBINPUTS is required: your
.bibfile lives in the repo root
