How to justify ALL on beamer?

Post by cbustaam »

Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to justify all my text in a beamer transparencies. I know the

Code: Select all

\usepackage{ragged2e}
\justify
But with it, I have to put the annoying \justify on each paragraph (at least when I use itemize).
There is away to justify all the slides with only ONE command, for example, in the preamble?

How to justify ALL on beamer?

since no-one has replied, let me volunteer some ideas - they are untested, do get back to us with your solution if you find one.

in your preamble:

1. justifying text in enumerate environment (the code may be adapted for the itemize environment),

Code: Select all

\let\oldenumerate=\enumerate 
\renewenvironment{enumerate}{\oldenumerate\raggedright}{\endlist} 
here \raggedright sets left-justify. Note that the default paragraph environment is to justify both left and right.

2. justifying figure and table captions:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{caption}
\captionsetup{justification={justified}}
As I said, these are untested, but the general idea should set you on a course. I don't know if this is what you want, let's just hope it helps you somehow.

Hi all,
I solved the problem. If anyone is interested, this was my code

Code: Select all

\usepackage{ragged2e}

\let\olditem=\item% 
\renewcommand{\item}{\olditem \justifying}%

The previous code solved the justification issue. However, it "disables" the center environment. Why? It just a doubt, I use the centering command to center my images, but I'm wondering why the center environment is useless.

It's because the center environment is defined using a list:

Code: Select all

\def\center{\trivlist \centering\item\relax}
\def\endcenter{\endtrivlist}
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,...
