Im a using beamer
and my bibliogrpahy is too long to fit on one single frame.
My code is very simple :
\begin{frame}%[allowframebreaks=0.9]
\section*{Bibliographie}
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography
\end{frame}
I could use [allowframebreak=0.9]
option, for example, to divide it in three frames, but that is not what I want : I would like the text to get smaller so that it fits on one frame. So my case is not this one nor this one.
Beamer's manual (speaks about bibtex
, and not biblatex
) gives me this great answer :
The environment must be placed inside a frame. If the bibliography does not fit on one frame, you should split it (create a new frame and a second
thebibliography
environment) or use theallowframebreaks
option. Even better, you should reconsider whether it is a good idea to present so many references. (p.101)
Thank you, but I've reconsidered it, and I think it's a good idea. At least, I want to see if it's still readable when reduced before my decision to split it or reduce it.
I've tried something like {\tiny \printbibliography}
but it doesn't work.
Can someone help ? Thank you.

To fit an arbitrary amount of text on a frame, you can use the
shrink
option. Without any value it will not change the linewidth before shrinking, with a value such asshrink=10
it will increase line widths corresponding to that of a10%
reduction before doing the shrinking.Here is an example with one slide with text generated by the
lipsum
package, the other from a bibliography. Note\section
does not work in aframe
, use\frametitle
instead.All this is "evil" in the terminology of the
beamer
manual.
