LaTeX tableofcontents not rendering a new page? - latex

Question

So im making a presentation and for some reason, i can't create a new page for my tableofcontents.
The list of the tableofcontents is longer and i need to split it up to two pages to be able to display all informations, but it doesn't work (i tried \clearpage and \newpage without success)
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\addbibresource{sample.bib}
%%%% graphics
\usepackage{graphicx}
%%%START THEME SETTINGS
\usetheme{Dresden}
\usecolortheme{beaver}
\title{stuff}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\titlepage % Print the title page as the first slide
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{Outline}
\tableofcontents
\end{frame}
\section{x}
\subsection{Introduction}
\subsection{Use Cases}
%------------------------------------------------
\section{xyz}
\subsection{Introduction}
\subsection{Use cases}
\subsection{Hyypervisors}
\subsection{Hypervisors Types}
\subsection{Memory Management}
\subsection{Memory Overcommitment}
\subsection{Memory Compression}
\subsection{Memory Transparent Page Sharing}
\newpage %<- this doesn't work!
%--------------------------------------------
\section{xy}
\subsection{Motivation}
\subsection{Virtualization}
\subsection{Emulation}
\section{xx}
\subsection{CPU}
\subsection{Registers}
\subsection{Memory}
any ideas why this doesn't work?
As mentioned above..

Answer 1

You can add the allowframebreaks option to your outline frame and beamer will automatically break the frame into multiple slides:
\documentclass{beamer}
%\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\addbibresource{sample.bib}
%%%% graphics
%\usepackage{graphicx}
%%%START THEME SETTINGS
\usetheme{Dresden}
\usecolortheme{beaver}
\title{stuff}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\titlepage % Print the title page as the first slide
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[allowframebreaks]{Outline}
\tableofcontents
\end{frame}
\section{x}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Introduction}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Use Cases}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
%------------------------------------------------
\section{xyz}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Introduction}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Use cases}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Hyypervisors}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Hypervisors Types}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Memory Management}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Memory Overcommitment}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Memory Compression}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Memory Transparent Page Sharing}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
%\newpage %<- this doesn't work!
%--------------------------------------------
\section{xy}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Motivation}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Virtualization}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Emulation}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\section{xx}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{CPU}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Registers}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Memory}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\end{document}
Or you can manually split your table of contents to get more fine control of the break point:
\documentclass{beamer}
%\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\addbibresource{sample.bib}
%%%% graphics
%\usepackage{graphicx}
%%%START THEME SETTINGS
\usetheme{Dresden}
\usecolortheme{beaver}
\title{stuff}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\titlepage % Print the title page as the first slide
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{Outline}
\only<1>{\tableofcontents[sections={1-2}]}
\only<2>{\tableofcontents[sections={3-4}]}
\end{frame}
\section{x}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Introduction}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Use Cases}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
%------------------------------------------------
\section{xyz}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Introduction}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Use cases}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Hyypervisors}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Hypervisors Types}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Memory Management}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Memory Overcommitment}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Memory Compression}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Memory Transparent Page Sharing}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
%\newpage %<- this doesn't work!
%--------------------------------------------
\section{xy}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Motivation}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Virtualization}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Emulation}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\section{xx}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{CPU}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Registers}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\subsection{Memory}\begin{frame}\end{frame}
\end{document}
