Dear all,
I am preparing a Beamer presentation and I am having some trouble with
side effects (?) due to my attempt to customize the LaTeX-export. My
minimum example can be found below.
The default LaTeX-export does not recognise the '\institute'-option (I
mean, as far as I know). For that reason, I run "(add-to-list
'org-export-latex-classes ...)". Unfortunately, the export-function does
no longer recognice ":BEAMER_envargs: [plain]" (or ":BEAMER_envargs:
[shrink=5]")[1].
Thanks,
Bernd

* Introduction
** A simple slide
:PROPERTIES:
:BEAMER_env: frame
:BEAMER_envargs: [plain]
:END:
This slide consists of some text with a number of bullet points:
- the first, very @important@, point!
- the previous point shows the use of the special markup which
translates to the Beamer specific /alert/ command for highlighting
text.
The above list could be numbered or any other type of list and may
include sub-lists.

yes, that is correct. the default entry uses =org-beamer-sectioning=
which is where headings are translated to latex section or frame or
block etc entries *and* where the special beamer properties are
processed. As you have replaced the sectioning section of
=org-export-latex-classes= with your own, you have lost all of that
functionality.
You seem to want to achieve two things:
1. added your macros into the latex preamble, and
2. add the [fragile] option to each frame.
I would suggest you do 1 as you have done but keep org-beamer-sectioning
as the second argument for the org-export-latex-classes entry. To add
[fragile] to each frame, I would recommend, instead, using some
automated form of input, such as a yasnippet snippet like this one
(untested):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#name : frame
# --
** ${1:frame title}
:PROPERTIES:
:BEAMER_envargs: ${2:[fragile]}
:END:
$0
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
so that typing "frame" followed by TAB would define a new headline,
prompting for the title and possible arguments (with defaults).
HTH,
eric

Hi Eric,
Thanks for your help! Unfortunately, that's not what I was looking for
and, therefore, rephrased my unclear question ("Specifying
\institute[short]{long] in Beamer presentations"). As pointed out by
Miklós or Suvayu, the solution was embarrassingly simpel: Just include
#+BEAMER_HEADER_EXTRA: \institute{My insitute}
or
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \institute[short name]{My awesome institute}
Anyway, I really appreciate your help!
Bernd

Ah, okay; I did note, however, that you did seem to be wanting to add
the [fragile] option to every frame.
Glad you got a solution, in any case!
