I’m hoping to address a few bugs in beamer
over the next few days. One category that is always tricky is things linked to using \subsubsection
. If you’ve read the beamer
manual carefully, you’ll know that the original author of the class really didn’t want people to use \subsubsection
in talks. However, he also didn’t ban it entirely, leaving me with a tricky situation. The problem is that while \subsubsection
works, many of the things you might expect to happen from the relationship between \section
and \subsection
fail with \subsubsection
, and from the code that may well be ‘by design’. Of course, I can change the ‘rules’, but beamer
has been around a long time and it’s also somewhat complex code. As such, I’m always having to make judgements on how to deal with these bugs. My advice: don’t use \subsubection
in beamer
documents! Certainly don’t be surprised if when you ignore that advice odd things happen.
