MakeIndex, Nomenclature, Glossaries and Acronyms ⇒ Create index entries in beamer with 2 columns

[mschulme]

Hello all together,
the following code generates index entries for latex beamer.

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\makeindex
\newenvironment{theindex}
{\let\item\par %definitions for subitem etc
}{}
\newcommand\indexspace{}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}{test 1}
\index{Laplace}Laplace transform is... \LaTeXe\ can make you happy!
\index{Test}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{test 2}
\printindex \end{frame}
\end{document}


QUESTION:
How do I need to modify this code such that the index entries are in two columns in the end of the beamer presentation?

Thanks
Marcus

Use the multicol package and incorporate an according environment into the theindex enviroment.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{makeidx}

\newenvironment{theindex}{%
  \let\item\par   % definitions for subitem etc
  \begin{multicols}{2}
}{\end{multicols}}
\newcommand\indexspace{}

\makeindex

\begin{document}
  \begin{frame}{test 1}
    \index{Laplace}Laplace transform is... \LaTeXe\ can make you happy!
    \index{Test}
    \index{A}\index{B}\index{C}\index{D}\index{E}\index{F}
  \end{frame}

  \begin{frame}{test 2}
    \printindex
  \end{frame}
\end{document}

Thanks a lot, Thorsten, works well!
I also checked my initial request as "solved".
