[Tex/LaTex] Keynote: Long text with Latex symbols

presentations

I know LaTeXiT can insert equations in to Apple's Keynote software, but I am looking for a tool to insert Latex symbols that integrate into the original text in my Keynote presentation. the inline symbols and equations should blend into the full text, similar to the old TexPoint used for Microsoft Powerpoint. For example, if I input

Define a graph $$G$$ with set of edges $$E$$ and vertex $$V$$

I would like a function to convert it into

LaTeXiT supports such conversion in Pages, but not Keynote. (the mock image above is actually a screenshot from Pages)

I can insert long text such as paragraphs and bullet points in my LaTeXiT input window, but that seems not natural, and I have to copy it back into LaTeXiT to edit them.

Keynote 8.1 now supports LaTeX and MathML natively. You can use the \text{} command to produce normal text inside a formula, and Keynote uses the font matching the rest of the presentation.

[Tex/LaTex] Beamer or MS Powerpoint/LibreOffice Impress

I use beamer for all my teaching. The only time I might resort to Powerpoint is if I am hard pressed for time since it is easier to make corrections last minute. The fact that this happens less and less is probably because with time I grow more comfortable with Beamer. From a different angle, beamer forces you to think things through in advance.

For my graphics I use .jpg, .pdf and .png mixed in my presentations. Png is great for line graphics which it compresses very well. Since it is non-destructive, it does not compress photographs well so I use jpeg compression for such illustrations. Since I also work a lot with postscript output from for example Matlab, I convert the eps-output to pdf. All in all I find working with these graphics formats very easy. As you implicitly state working with LaTeX prevents cut and paste but I note that you use Photoshop in which case it is easy to cut from other documents and save as .png or .jpg. With Adobe Illustrator I am also able to extract postscript graphics out from (unlocked) pdfs which is very useful for teaching.

I am sure there are many other ways to get around moving graphics between applications but these work for me.

[Tex/LaTex] Beamer: Creating a slide with short, centered, prominent text

A blank slide is easy to produce by adding the argument plain. By also adding c you center the text on the page (you also have the options t: top and b: bottom). Note that you must also omit the frame title.

\begin{frame}[plain,c]
%\frametitle{A first slide}

\begin{center}
\Huge Coming up: Our Work
\end{center}

\end{frame}

As for text type face and colour, I do not want to make any specific suggestions. For the type face, use the type face you use in the presentation, mixing too many type faces udually is not a good idea. The colour depnds on you colour scheme. If you want it to "scream" then use red or some other bright colour. You can always chose something that clearly deviates from the colour scheme you use but on the whole having too many colours that do not fit the scheme may jsut make the presentation look messy.
