I'm making slides and I've had a bug for like 20 mins. Right at the point of thinking "screw this" I'll go back to a working version (git
), I realise the error message is literally what I was doing wrong (just wrong line number cause LaTeX is a joker). FFS.

From what we've looked at so far, we've still not found a programmatic way of generating slides which isn't painful. If you ever find something good I'd be keen to hear about it. I've gone back to LibreOffice Impress which is considerably less than ideal.

I use beamer because I can't stand WYSIWYGs. But yes like I said above "using beamer is not too far off from the definition of self-harm".

I'm stuck to PowerPoint thanks to coprorate design, but if I get to do my own slides, I like to use RMarkdown these days to generate HTML slides in RStudio. Much nicer to use than Beamer, and I get to write Markdown rather than LaTeX.

Not Rer, or whatever yall are called. But yeah, that's obviously better than self-harm.

-
That being said though, I like my beamer slides because (by the end) they look pretty (or at least prettier than if I was using WYSIWYG, esp for maths).
-
My sister uses beamer and her comment was it was really amusing when all the leaked NSA documents were going around that they use the same beamer template as her!

Those unclosed brackets have stolen hours of my lifetime. A month ago, I bumped into GitPitch, Markdown Presentations For Everyone on Git, but I haven't tried yet , my immediate impression is that it seems less harmful :-) https://github.com/gitpitch/gitpitch …

It wasn't unclosed brackets in my case. It was a "\vspace{}".
