The document provides tips for preparing SlideShare-compatible slides using LaTeX and Beamer. It suggests two main tricks: avoiding clutter in slide corners by using 'latex dvips ps2pdf' instead of pdflatex, and enabling Scandinavian character support through specific encoding and font packages. These adjustments improve the appearance and functionality of slides when uploaded to SlideShare.
![Tip 2: Scandinavian characters (åäö)
Select encoding and enable local hyphenation rules
To be able to use Scandinavian characters, specify the encoding:
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
Selecting correct hyphenation rules for your language might be a
good idea:
usepackage[finnish]{babel}
Now the text will look great, but copy-paste from pdf will fail:
ääkköset will produce ¨aakk¨oset or something even more horrible.
Same applies to Slideshare Presentation Transcript!
Solution: load fonts with scandinavian symbols
Be sure to include both of these lines:
usepackage{ae,aecompl}
usepackage{lmodern}
