While, would we opt for: - [Title] Subtitle - Title > Subtitle you wouldn't be so sure. Note that, to be closer to the real Beamer syntax, one could think of: - {Title} Subtitle - Title {Subtitle} Such syntax have the advantage to stay readable and quite explicit, even if translated "verbatim" in other backends (such as HTML): that was already the case of the old syntax: in HTML, "Title \\ Subtitle" was very readable, even if not processed in any particular way (and one could image a CSS-only solution to even present it more as a real subtitle). > But I'm not against some easy way to add a subtitle to a frame. > > A special property isn't satisfactory either, because those aren't > parsed.

No, it would not be really satisfactory, not really for bold (as, anyway, titles are generally bold), but more for = markups: "Code for =org-agenda=", for an example of subtitle. > Meanwhile, doesn't the following work? > > #+BEAMER: \framesubtitle{Technology} Yes, meanwhile, that does work.
