LaTeX: Beamer with Memoir

Author: Jeremy Smyth

I’m quite a fan of the Memoir class, having used it a bit for reports and manuals here and there. I’ve used Beamer for a few presentations too, and thought to merge them recently for a course I’m writing.

However, I’ve been experiencing a hang during pdflatex execution when using the “itemize” environment.

This works:

\documentclass{memoir} \usepackage{beamerarticle} \begin{document} Hello. \end{document}

This doesn’t:

\documentclass{memoir} \usepackage{beamerarticle} \begin{document} Hello. \begin{itemize} \item{hello} \end{itemize} \end{document}

It works fine with enumerate and description environments, and when I
use the book or article documentclasses. But because I like Memoir, I want to fix it.

So I did what every self-respecting techie would do, and posted to Usenet. We’ll see how this turns out.
