Hello:

I was happy to see a simple formula for exporting to Beamer.  The following
worked initially.  However, this initialization routine was able to run only
when org-latex had already been loaded.

Is it possible to put this inside of a hook (say, when org-latex was loaded,
or when the document class was beamer during the export process)?

Emacs just reports the following when this code is included into the init
file:

       Symbol's value as variable is void: org-export-latex-classes

After explicitly loading the library "org-latex" the code is executed and
the procedure works for exporting the example file---given that the latex
code must be cleaned up.

I haven't yet tried the following as a heading line:

       #+OPTIONS: toc:nil

Would that solve the problem you reported?

Thank you for this helpful advice.

You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world,  but when
you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird...
So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing---that's what counts.
