Empty line on a slide in Latex Beamer
60,119
Use \vspace
, e.g.
\vspace{1in}
for a one inch vertical space. If you want it to be equal to the normal distance between two lines, use the length \baselineskip
.

I am using Latex Beamer for creating a presentation.
On one slide I have
\frame { \frametitle{fdjsljklfdjs} What is fdjsljklfdjs \begin{itemize} \item item one \item item one \end{itemize} Why do we want to know it \begin{itemize} \item item one \item item one \item item three \end{itemize} }
I would like to have space between the first itemize block and the second question. However, if I try
\\
or\newline
, I get a pdflatex parsing error:! LaTeX Error: There's no line here to end.
How can I get an emtpy line?

Maksim Kondratyuk over 14 yearsThe \baselineskip does not work for me, but the \vspace{} command does! Thanks!

Maksim Kondratyuk over 14 yearsDo you also know what the reason is that \\ and \newline don't work?

Mikael Auno over 14 yearsI don't know more than what can be read from the error message. As I understand it (I've seen this message a few times myself), \\ and \newline just break an existing line, but there is no line to break before you put some content on it and a new line has just been created for you after the itemize block. I might be totally wrong in that interpretation, but that's my guess anyway.

Mark Reid almost 13 years@Peter:
\baselineskip
is a length. To use it with\vspace
you have to write\vspace{\baselineskip}
.
