\section[Intro]{Introduction}
\begin{frame}[fragile]{Metropolis}
The \themename theme is a Beamer theme with minimal visual noise
inspired by the \href{https://github.com/hsrmbeamertheme/hsrmbeamertheme}{\textsc{hsrm} Beamer
Theme} by Benjamin Weiss.
Enable the theme by loading
\begin{verbatim} \documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{metropolis}\end{verbatim}
Note, that you have to have Mozilla's \emph{Fira Sans} font and XeTeX
installed to enjoy this wonderful typography.
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[fragile]{Sections}
Sections group slides of the same topic
\begin{verbatim} \section{Elements}\end{verbatim}
for which \themename provides a nice progress indicator \ldots
\end{frame}
\section{Titleformats}
\begin{frame}{Metropolis titleformats}
\themename supports 4 different titleformats:
\begin{itemize}
\item Regular
\item \textsc{Smallcaps}
\item \textsc{allsmallcaps}
\item ALLCAPS
\end{itemize}
They can either be set at once for every title type or individually.
\end{frame}
\subsection{Tricks}
{
\metroset{titleformat frame=smallcaps}
\begin{frame}{Small caps}
This frame uses the \texttt{smallcaps} titleformat.
\begin{alertblock}{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.
\end{alertblock}
\end{frame}
}
{
\metroset{titleformat frame=allsmallcaps}
\begin{frame}{All small caps}
This frame uses the \texttt{allsmallcaps} titleformat.
\begin{alertblock}{Potential problems}
As this titleformat also uses smallcaps you face the same problems as with the \texttt{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.
\end{alertblock}
\end{frame}
}
{
\metroset{titleformat frame=allcaps}
\begin{frame}{All caps}
This frame uses the \texttt{allcaps} titleformat.
\begin{alertblock}{Potential Problems}
This titleformat is not as problematic as the \texttt{allsmallcaps} format, but basically suffers from the same deficiencies. So please have a look at the documentation if you want to use it.
\end{alertblock}

\appendix
\begin{frame}[fragile]{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 \verb|appendixnumberbeamer|
package in your preamble and call \verb|\appendix| before your backup slides.
\themename will automatically turn off slide numbering and progress bars for
slides in the appendix.
