Subject: latex export and beamer columns
Date: Sat, 21 Nov 2009 12:49:48 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <876394m49f.wl%ucecesf@ucl.ac.uk> (raw)
Recently, in September, there was a discussion about exporting org
files to latex using the beamer class and generating slides with
multiple columns:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/17546
No solution was presented at that time but I think I've managed to
create one that is quite reasonable. I define a beamer entry in
org-export-latex-classes which has the following definitions for the
different headings in an org-mode file:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
("\\begin{frame}\\frametitle{%s}" "\\end{frame}"
"\\begin{frame}\\frametitle{%s}" "\\end{frame}")
("\\begin{columns} \% %s" "\\end{columns}"
"\\begin{columns} \% %s" "\\end{columns}")
("\\begin{column}{%s\\textwidth}" "\\end{column}"
"\\begin{column}{%s\\textwidth}" "\\end{column}")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Then, if I have a 3rd level heading (whose actual text is ignored),
multiple columns mode is entered and the level 4 headings indicate the
widths (relative to \textwidth although obviously one could generalise
this) of each subsequent column.
*Note*: for this to work, you have to specify H:4 in the document
OPTIONS or else the 4th level headings are turned into items in an
itemized list.
So, for instance, this will generate a slide with two columns of text
(noting that I use odd levels only for my headings):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# -*- coding: utf-8; -*-
#+TITLE: Beamer column test
#+AUTHOR: Eric
#+OPTIONS: H:4 num:t toc:nil \n:nil @:t ::t |:t ^:t -:t f:t *:t <:t
#+OPTIONS: TeX:t LaTeX:t skip:nil d:nil todo:t pri:nil tags:not-in-toc
#+LaTeX_CLASS: beamer
* Main heading
*** An interesting slide
***** columns (this text is ignored)
******* 0.3
- Some text on the left of the slide
- make sure we have at least two bullet points
- this is a narrow column
******* 0.7
- text on the right side of the slide
- and more
- and even more
- and this is a much wider column
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I can now create the slides for presentations and lectures completely
within org-mode so I'm a very happy camper!
