For some reason my beamer
presentation does not compile when \newcommand
is placed inside the frame
environment. Here is a minimal working example:
\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{First slide}
\newcommand{\asdf}[1]{What is the #1 problem?}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
I get the following error:
Illegal parameter number in definition of \test.
Note that the \asdf
macro is not even used after it is defined. Strangely, when I place the definition outside of the frame
environment, everything works fine. What is the reason for this strange behavior?
