LaTeX Beamer template for the IHS

This template is not official. See the license.

Installation

You need to make the files of the template available to your local TeX installation. For most people, installing in their home directory is the easiest solution.

Executing

kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFHOME

in the command line will tell you your TeX home directory, which is usually ~/texmf/ or something similar. You might want to make a subdirectory inside that to keep things tidy, eg

mkdir -p ~/texmf/tex/latex/beamer/

Then you can

cd ~/texmf/tex/latex/beamer/

and get the template following one of the two options below. You may have to run mktexlsr after getting the source and after updating.

You can learn more installing TeX code in your home directory in the UK TUG FAQ.

Git

This is the suggested method, since it makes it very easy to keep up with changes to the template. If you don't have git, you need to install it.

Then execute

git clone git://github.com/tpapp/ihs-beamer.git

and you are done. If you want to check for updates, just switch to the appropriate directory and execute

git pull origin master

Zip/tar archive

Available on Github.

Usage

In order to enable the theme, put

\usetheme{ihs}

in your document preamble.

The info line at the bottom contains the short \author name, the short \insitute in parentheses (if given, otherwise no parentheses and spacing is generated), an m-dash (—), and the short \title.

You can use two commands for generating logos, \IHSlogo and \IHSlogotext. The first is with text and the latter is without. Both accept an optional argument that is passed on to \includegraphics.

There is an example available, see example.tex and example.pdf

Colors only

If you just want to use the IHS colors, they are available as a standalone color theme. Put

\usecolortheme{ihs}

in your document preamble.
