Aloha all,
The variable org-export-latex-classes has a specification for
unnumbered sections but I haven't found any documentation how to mark
up the org file to activate them. I might have missed something
obvious. Could someone give me a pointer to documentation or some
help how to markup the org file?
All the best,
Tom

Thomas,
Are you looking for
M-x customize-variable RET org-export-with-section-numbers RET
??
As Matt wrote, per file setting is:
#+OPTIONS: num:nil

Thanks Sebastian. I appreciate the expert assistance. I have a
simple export to Beamer working and was trying to implement automatic
export of columns, too. The starred sections were going to be
placeholders for the columns heading level when it wasn't used. I've
found that skipping a headline level in the source causes the latex
exporter to skip over subsequent inferior levels, so it isn't possible
to assign a heading level to columns and then use them or not as the
case requires. I'm actually quite happy with the simple export I have
working. Beamer templates that show the document structure are easy
to write to using org-mode, where document structure is so important.
All the best,
Tom

Yes, that is what I'm playing around with. I have a useful, but
simple export to beamer working. I've been trying without success to
implement beamer's \begin{columns} ... \end{columns} environment.
This is a fairly common construct in beamer that occurs inside some
frames but not in others. It seems natural to put it like this:
("\\section{%s}" . "\\section{%s}")
("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection{%s}")
("\\begin{frame}\\frametitle{%s}" "\\end{frame}" "\\begin{frame}\
\frametitle{%s}" "\\end{frame}")
("\\begin{columns}\\label{%s}" "\\end{columns}" "\\begin{columns}\
\label{%s}" "\\end{columns}")
where the \label{%s} puts the mandatory use of %s somewhere it won't
affect the LaTeX compilation.
The problem with this is that for frames where columns aren't wanted,
simply leaving out the fourth level in org means that everything below
it won't be exported.
This example results in an empty frame (Item 1 and Item 2 are dropped
from the export):
* Section head
** Subsection head
*** Frame title
***** Item 1
***** Item 2
It seems that a placeholder of some kind is needed if the columns
environment isn't wanted.
Initially, I explored using the definition for the unnumbered
sections, like this:
("\\begin{columns}\\label{%s}" "\\end{columns}" "%%\\begin{columns}\
\label{%s}" "%%\\end{columns}")
which would use a LaTeX comment as a placeholder. This won't work
because the switch for numbered/unnumbered sections is set at the file
level and not for individual instances.
Then, I thought to define a do-nothing environment in LaTeX
\newenvironment{nocolumns}{}{}
set it up in .emacs like this:
("\\begin{%s}" "\\end{%s}" "\\begin{%s}" "\\end{%s}")
and then put this in my .org file:
* Section head
** Subsection head
*** Frame title
**** nocolumns
***** Item 1
***** Item 2
But this doesn't work because %s doesn't expand in \\end{%s}. I get
\begin{nocolumns} ... \end{%s}, which LaTeX doesn't like.
So, I'm stumped for now, but still pleased to have a simple export
from org to beamer working, albeit one that produces frames without
columns.
All the best,
Tom

Hi Thomas,
I have not really looks at this problem, but would it help to use
a clever combination of org-export-latex-low-levels and org-
export=headline-levels?

Hi Carsten,
I was trying to combine these two variables cleverly but couldn't come
up with a solution that worked. I'd like a certain level, say ***, to
be one thing some times and another thing at other times in the same
output.
It would be neat if org-export-latex-low-levels could be set up like
this:
("\\begin{%s}" "\\end{%s}" "\\begin{%s}" "\\end{%s}")
but when I tried it, %s was expanded only in the first of each pair.
A construct like this would allow the user to export any environment
on a case by case basis.
So, in my case, I could have this in my org file when I want columns:
*** columns
And this in the instances where I don't want columns:
*** nocolumns
(assuming nocolumns is a suitably defined LaTeX command).
All the best,
Tom
