In a perfect world, yes. From my understanding, the lyx integration of beamer is quite complicated. Also, this makes a great deal of sense. The itemized lists are under a frame object, so they are essentially treated as a sub-object when the user hits tab, as they should be. It also clearly denotes

Wouldn't it be simpler (for users who are creating a slide presentation) to just include in the frame everything that comes after the frame title, unless indicated otherwise (perhaps by an explicit EndOfFrame mark? EK On 10/26/2016 07:50 PM, Paul A. Rubin

The Beamer manual encourages us to use itemize "a lot-- REALLY use it". But what I observe is that it spreads the items on the slide so as to occupy the entire height of the slide, even if there are only two items in the itemized list, so there is a huge, ugly space between them. If that is t

I am not sure which purpose it defeats-- my purpose is to have slides that look the way I would like them to look. Lyx interfaces with Beamer and-- as it does in other areas-- makes it easier to avoid using native Latex directly. In addition, there are experts latex use

Isn't that defeating the purpose? Never mind that this is a LaTeX/Beamer and not a LyX issue, so you might get more help on the correct lists. el On 2016-10-24 20:23, UD wrote: > Since it seems that /enumitem/ is incompatible with Beamer, (how) can > I control the vertical spacing in itemized li

Since it seems that /enumitem/ is incompatible with Beamer, (how) can I control the vertical spacing in itemized lists in Beamer/Lyx? Thanks -- Ehud Kaplan
