Mercurial Presentation

I'm presenting on Mercurial at the Utah Python Users Group tonight. Probably not as useful without the demos, but here are my slides: mercurial.pdf. Sadly, the slides really just seem to be my notes on a pretty background.

Using the verbatim Environment and listings Package with Beamer

I finally figured out how to make the verbatim environment work with Beamer. Beamer can't handle the following code:

\begin{frame}{A Title}
    \begin{verbatim}
    Don't mess with my text.
    \end{verbatim}
\end{frame}

To make it work, you need to include the fragile option for the frame. Example:

\begin{frame}[fragile]{A Title}
    \begin{verbatim}
    Don't mess with my text.
    \end{verbatim}
\end{frame}

If you use the listings package, the same trick works for the lstlistings environment.
