Compile Beamer LaTeX Slides

Compile a Beamer slide deck using XeLaTeX with full citation resolution.

Steps

Navigate to Slides/ directory and compile with 3-pass sequence:

bash
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.tex

Alternative (latexmk):

bash
cd Slides
TEXINPUTS=../Preambles:$TEXINPUTS BIBINPUTS=..:$BIBINPUTS latexmk -xelatex -interaction=nonstopmode $ARGUMENTS.tex

Check for warnings:

Grep output for Overfull \\hbox warnings
Grep for undefined citations or Label(s) may have changed
Report any issues found

Open the PDF for visual verification:

bash open Slides/$ARGUMENTS.pdf # macOS # xdg-open Slides/$ARGUMENTS.pdf # Linux

Report results:

Compilation success/failure
Number of overfull hbox warnings
Any undefined citations
PDF page count

Why 3 passes?

First xelatex: Creates .aux file with citation keys
bibtex: Reads .aux, generates .bbl with formatted references
Second xelatex: Incorporates bibliography
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 .bib file lives in the repo root
