Under Beamer, how to draw a sipmle arrow between words in itemize?

I do not need to configure the size, location or any other detail settings. What I need is simply a default arrow.

I tried \rightarrow and \implies but without luck.

  • What kind of an arrow do you want? Do you want an arrow that looks like \rightarrow? Did you do $\rightarrow$? – Adam Liter Apr 16 '14 at 15:11

To use the arrows, you need to be in math mode. E.g.,

    \begin{itemize}
    \item This $\rightarrow$ that
    \end{itemize}

You shouldn't need any special packages for that to work.

Choose the one you like:

enter image description here

% arara: pdflatex

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{marvosym} % \MVRIGHTarrow
\usepackage{stmaryrd} % \shortrightarrow
\usepackage{textcomp} % \textrightarrow

\begin{document}
    \begin{frame}
        \begin{itemize}
            \item This \MVRightarrow{} that
            \item This $\shortrightarrow$ that
            \item This \textrightarrow{} that
            \item This $\rightarrow$ that
            \item This $\longrightarrow$ that
        \end{itemize}
    \end{frame}
\end{document}

And if you prefer the "implies" version:

enter image description here

\begin{itemize}
    \item This $\Rightarrow$ that
    \item This $\Longrightarrow$ that
    \item This $\implies$ that
\end{itemize}
