I would highly recommend org-mode to you ;-) Seriously, the arguments for beamer versus PP are the same as (IMO) latex versus Word and, for me, come down to text versus binary and open versus proprietary... > I think we need a good beamer tutorial on Worg, including this > column stuff, and some text about image treatment. > > Any volunteers?

I may be able to help write such a tutorial (although not before xmas as I'm bogged down with lectures [and hence my interest in getting columns working in beamer!] at the moment). At the moment, the only thing that is missing in org-mode to beamer is some way to specify arguments to the \frame command, options such as [shrink] or [t]. At the moment, there is no mechanism that supports this. Something like attr_frame may be necessary just as we do with figures, as in: ,---- | #+attr_frame: shrink=20 | *** This is a slide with a lot of text | ... `---- I have no idea how easy or difficult this would be to implement, mind you. There is also the issue of animation, specifically the tags for items in lists but most behaviour like this can be handled with \pause statements so I'm not too worried about this.
