Compile Beamer LaTeX Slides
Compile a Beamer slide deck using XeLaTeX with full citation resolution.
Steps
- Navigate to Slides/ directory and compile with 3-pass sequence:
cd Slides
TEXINPUTS=../Preambles:$TEXINPUTS xelatex -interaction=nonstopmode $ARGUMENTS.tex
BIBINPUTS=..:$BIBINPUTS bibtex $ARGUMENTS
TEXINPUTS=../Preambles:$TEXINPUTS xelatex -interaction=nonstopmode $ARGUMENTS.tex
TEXINPUTS=../Preambles:$TEXINPUTS xelatex -interaction=nonstopmode $ARGUMENTS.tex
Alternative (latexmk):
cd Slides
TEXINPUTS=../Preambles:$TEXINPUTS BIBINPUTS=..:$BIBINPUTS latexmk -xelatex -interaction=nonstopmode $ARGUMENTS.tex
-
Check for warnings:
- Grep output for
Overfull \\hboxwarnings - Grep for
undefined citationsorLabel(s) may have changed - Report any issues found
- Grep output for
-
Open the PDF for visual verification:
open Slides/$ARGUMENTS.pdf # macOS # xdg-open Slides/$ARGUMENTS.pdf # Linux -
Report results:
- Compilation success/failure
- Number of overfull hbox warnings
- Any undefined citations
- PDF page count
Why 3 passes?
- First xelatex: Creates
.auxfile with citation keys - bibtex: Reads
.aux, generates.bblwith formatted references - Second xelatex: Incorporates bibliography
- Third xelatex: Resolves all cross-references with final page numbers
Important
- Always use XeLaTeX, never pdflatex
- TEXINPUTS is required: your Beamer theme lives in
Preambles/ - BIBINPUTS is required: your
.bibfile lives in the repo root

Stage, commit, push, open a PR, and merge to main. Use ONLY on explicit commit intent — user says "commit", "ship it", "push this", "open a PR", "merge to main", "let's commit this", or prefixes with `/commit`. Do NOT auto-invoke on vague end-of-task phrases ("we're done", "wrap up") — those require explicit confirmation first. Runs the standard commit-PR-merge cycle; never force-pushes or skips hooks.
