ISAE-Supaero LaTeX/Beamer template for presentations


INTRODUCTION
------------
This LaTeX/Beamer template has been designed in order to help students 
writing their presentations. A skeleton is already proposed in French.


REQUIREMENTS
------------
 A full LaTeX distribution such as TexLive (>2012) or MikTex (>2012).
 An UTF-8 aware text editor such as TexMaker or Emacs.
 Optionally: a bibliography manager such as JabRef can be used in order
to edit the .bib file.


USAGE
-----
 Edit the {.tex,.bib} files using UTF-8 encoding.
 Rename the .tex file according to your presentation topic.
 Put your figures in the "images" subdirectory.

The compilation process is the following:
1) Compile the main file "isae-beamer-template.tex" using PDFLatex.
2) Compile the "isae-beamer-template.aux" using BibTeX.
3) Compile twice the main file "isae-beamer-template.tex" using PDFLatex.
