beamerroman numerals
I'm making a LaTeX presentation using beamer, and I'd like to prepare some slides for possible questions I can be asked for.
I find how to ignore slides numbering in this post, but I don't like the result, which is roughly the following:
Slide 1/n Slide 2/n…Slide n/n [from here questions slide] Slide (n+1)/n Slide (n+2)/n
What I would achieve is roughly the following:
Slide 1/n Slide 2/n…Slide n/n [from here questions slide] Slide I Slide II
How can I achieve it?
Make an appendix. Example (also handles putting appendix frames under a different counter):
\documentclass{beamer}
% http://www-ljk.imag.fr/membres/Jerome.Lelong/latex/appendixnumberbeamer.sty
% Reference: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2541/beamer-frame-numbering-in-appendix
\usepackage{appendixnumberbeamer}
% Add total frame count to slides, optional. From Stefan,
% http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2173
\expandafter\def\expandafter\insertshorttitle\expandafter{%
\insertshorttitle\hfill\insertframenumber\,/\,\inserttotalframenumber}
\newcommand{\makesection}{%
\begin{frame}This is a slide.\end{frame}
\subsection{First Subsection}
\begin{frame}This is a slide.\end{frame}
\subsection{Second Subsection}
\begin{frame}This is a slide.\end{frame}
}
\usetheme{Berlin}
\author{The Author}
\title{The Title}
\date{2011/06/21}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\titlepage
\end{frame}
\section{First Section} \makesection
\section{Second Section} \makesection
\section{Third Section} \makesection
\appendix
\section{Additional Material} \makesection
\end{document}
Howdy this is my solution:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{etextools}
\makeatletter
%Here comes the Framelist
%
\newcommand{\printframelist}{ }
\newcommand{\@savefrml}{ }
\newcommand{\frameliston}{%
\let\oldframetitle\frametitle
\newcommand{\tgframelistfronthook}{$\cdot$}
\newcommand{\tgframelistbackhook}{\\ }
\newcommand\myaddto[1]{%
\write\@auxout{\noexpand\@writefile{frml}{\noexpand ##1}}}
\renewcommand{\printframelist}{\@starttoc{frml}}
\renewcommand{\frametitle}[1]{\oldframetitle{##1}%
\xifstrequal{##1}{\@savefrml}{}{
\myaddto{ \noexpand%
\tgframelistfronthook ##1 \noexpand\tgframelistbackhook}%
}
\global\def\@savefrml{##1}%
}
}
\makeatother
\frameliston
\begin{document}
\frame{\frametitle{FIRST}}
\frame{\frametitle{Second}}
\frame{\frametitle{Third}}
\begin{frame}
\printframelist
\end{frame}
% The following should turn the framlist off for one slide when\anotherft is used
\let\anotherft\oldframetitle
\frame{\anotherft{FIRST A}}
\frame{\frametitle{Second A}}
\frame{\frametitle{Third A}}
\end{document}
This uses the very basic LaTeX mechanism on creating external files (like toc). extetools are used to compare strings and decide to print or not to print the title (for overlays). See in bitbucket.org/tobig/hohenheimbeamertheme/
Redefine \tgframelistbackhookand \tgframelistfronthook as you please.
EDIT: What you are showing in your example given above is that you put the whole columns stuff into the frametitle. And it breaks. Remember the frame environment is defined as
\begin{frame}<⟨overlay specification⟩>[<⟨default overlay specification⟩>][⟨options⟩]{⟨title⟩}{⟨subtitle⟩}
⟨environment contents⟩
\end{frame}
(see beamer documentation)
The first brakets after \begin{frame} will be interpreted as the title.
This will work:
\begin{frame}
\Huge
\vspace {0.35\textwidth}
% Don't remove
\begin{columns}
\begin{column}{0.3\textwidth}
\end{column}
% Don't remove
\begin{column}{0.3\textwidth}
\textbf{Thanks!}
\end{column}
% Don't remove
\begin{column}{0.3\textwidth}
\end{column}
\end{columns}
\end{frame}

The following example:
has the following page numbers in the footline:
1/3,2/3,3/3,I,II.
