Hi,

I'd like to produce multi-choice questions using Org mode, exporting
via Latex and Beamer mode to PDF.  My choices need to be alphabetic: A
B C, etc, since I am using a set of classroom clickers (aka voting
buttons) for students to select answers, which have buttons labelled A
to H.

So far, I found no way to change numeric to alphabetic in lists, and
the best I can come up with is

** What's your favourite subject?
+ A Maths
+ B Science
+ C English

etc.

I note that numeric lists are formatted really nicely on slides.  Is
there a way of achieving similar with alphabetic?  Would this be a
useful enhancement?

cheers,
Simon

  Maybe there is a better solution, but you can achieve this with
  
  ** What's your favourite subject?
  #+LaTeX: \renewcommand{\theenumi}{\Alph{enumi}}
  1. Math
  2. Science
  3. English
  #+LaTeX: \renewcommand{\theenumi}{\arabic{enumi}}
  
  The second #+Latex is just to go back to the default behaviour. Also, use
  "\alph" if you want lowercase and "\Alph" if you want uppercase.
