Titleformats
Metropolis titleformats

metropolis supports 4 different titleformats:

• Regular
• Smallcaps
• allsmallcaps
• ALLCAPS

They can either be set at once for every title type or individually.

4
Small caps

This frame uses the smallcaps titleformat.


Potential Problems
Be aware, that not every font supports small caps. If for example you
typeset your presentation with pdfTeX and the Computer Modern
Sans Serif font, every text in smallcaps will be typeset with the
Computer Modern Serif font instead.

5
all small caps

This frame uses the allsmallcaps titleformat.


Potential problems
As this titleformat also uses smallcaps you face the same problems
as with the smallcaps titleformat. Additionally this format can
cause some other problems. Please refer to the documentation if
you consider using it.
As a rule of thumb: Just use it for plaintext-only titles.

6
ALL CAPS

This frame uses the allcaps titleformat.


Potential Problems
This titleformat is not as problematic as the allsmallcaps format,
but basically suffers from the same deficiencies. So please have a
look at the documentation if you want to use it.

Backup slides

Sometimes, it is useful to add slides at the end of your presentation


to refer to during audience questions.
The best way to do this is to include the appendixnumberbeamer
package in your preamble and call \appendix before your backup
slides.
metropolis will automatically turn off slide numbering and progress
bars for slides in the appendix.
