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.
