Dear all,
Has anyone recently used org-beamer to write lecture notes? I'm now
updating my lecture notes on a R course, which previously I wrote in
latex with beamer. I'm intrigued by the possibility of using org mode
directly, although I am yet to be convinced whether it will be any
easier than using auctex directly. Has anyone written a set of lecture
notes recently in org mode, to persuade me?
For example, see http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/eglen/emacs/beamer.txt
for how I set up emacs with beamer, so that e.g. the table of contents
feature from reftex-toc works. Also, I have auctex set up so that C-M-x
"sends" the current slide to latex for processing, so that I can just
see how the current slide gets typeset rather than recompiling the whole
document. Can I process just the current slide in org mode?
So far I've found the following two sites useful:
http://emacs-fu.blogspot.com/2009/10/writing-presentations-with-org-mode-and.html
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-beamer/tutorial.php
[In this tutorial.php, the link in footnote 1 is brokenn -- how do I
download presentation.org?]
For those interested, my R lecture notes (both .tex and beamer pdf) are
freely available as accompanying material for a paper I wrote last year:
http://www.ploscompbiol.org/doi/pcbi.1000482
If I make significant progress with org mode and beamer, I'd be happy to
provide extra materials.
Best wishes, Stephen

Yes, the target of the link has been converted for the web site, which
it shouldn't have. I am not sure how to get the Worg automatic
publishing mode to not do this... hopefully somebody else can answer
and/or fix the link in that footnote.
In the meantime, attached is the file =presentation.org=.
HTH,
eric

* Introduction
** Overview
- org-mode template
- beamer structure
- beamer settings
* Methodology
** A simple slide
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.
** A more complex slide
This slide illustrates the use of Beamer blocks. The following text,
with its own headline, is displayed in a block:
*** Org mode increases productivity :B_theorem:
:PROPERTIES:
:BEAMER_env: theorem
:END:
- org mode means not having to remember \LaTeX commands.
- it is based on ascii text which is inherently portable.
- Emacs!
\hfill \(\qed\)
** Two columns
*** A block :B_ignoreheading:BMCOL:
:PROPERTIES:
:BEAMER_env: ignoreheading
:BEAMER_col: 0.4
:END:
- this slide consists of two columns
- the first (left) column has no heading and consists of text
- the second (right) column has an image and is enclosed in an
@example@ block
*** A screenshot :BMCOL:B_example:
:PROPERTIES:
:BEAMER_col: 0.6
:BEAMER_env: example
:END:
#+ATTR_LATEX: width=\textwidth
[[file:../../images/org-beamer/a-simple-slide.png]]
* Conclusions
** Summary
- org is an incredible tool for time management
- @but@ it is also excellent for writing and for preparing presentations
- Beamer is a very powerful \LaTeX{} package for presentations
- the combination is unbeatable!

Eric,
Per Bastien, you put the file wherever, but you link to the file at
http://orgmode.org/worg/sources/path/to/file/file.org. For example:
- If the file is in: ~/worg.git/org-tutorials/org-beamer/presentation.org
- You make the footnote/link to:
http://orgmode.org/worg/sources/org-tutorials/org-beamer/presentation.org
--- You can try that link; it works
--- Afaik, you can't help that it gets "worg-i-fied/published" but this is
how to link to the actual .org file
Hope that helps,
John

It does. Thanks. I've updated the tutorial on Worg to use a direct
http: link for the footnote entry.
