Beamer and enumitem: incompatible?

[Denis Bitouzé]

Hello,

I'd like to use enumitem package:

http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/enumitem/

in a beamer document. Everything is OK with enumerate and description
environments but not with itemize one, as one could check with the
following example:

\documentclass[12pt]{beamer}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\begin{enumerate}[label=Hello\arabic*:,labelindent=\parindent,leftmarg
in=*]
\item foo
\item bar
\end{enumerate}
\begin{description}[font=\bfseries]
\item[foo:] foo
\item[bar:] bar
\end{description}
\begin{itemize}
\item foo
\item bar
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

I get the following error message:

! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> .../enumerate \beameritemnestingprefix
body end
l.17 \end{frame}

?

Thanks for any help.

From a fast glance I would say that beamer and enumitem don't go well
together. Both redefine quite heavily the standard list environment.
Beamer e.g. puts a lots of \usebeamer<things> in the definitions. So if
you use enumitem you should be aware that you can loose a lot of beamer
adaptions.

If you really want to use the enumitem definitions you can try the
following:

\documentclass[12pt]{beamer}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\newcommand\beameritemnestingprefix{}

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\begin{enumerate}[label=Hello\arabic*:,labelindent=\parindent,
leftmargin=*]
\item foo
\item bar
\end{enumerate}
\begin{description}[font=\bfseries]
\item[foo:] foo
\item[bar:] bar
\end{description}

\begin{itemize}[label=$\bullet$]

\item foo
\item bar
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Yes and I pointed it out to the author of enumitem, Javier Bezos, who
will have a look at it. I suggested him to use new environment names to
avoid this kind of clashes...

OK, it works well. I tried to use the itemize and enumerate balls of
Beamer as labels of enumitem environments but without success...

Thanks a lot,
