Hi,
I am trying the following:
#+BEGIN_QUOTE
"Getting ragged-left text in a Beamer presentation exported from Org does not
seem as easy as I expected."
#+END_QUOTE
#+BEGIN_LaTeX
\begin{raggedleft}
From "Loris' Adventures in Orgland"
\end{raggedleft}
#+END_LaTeX
This seems to get exported to the latex file OK, but the text after the
quote is justified left in the final Beamer PDF.
What am I doing wrong?
Cheers,
Loris

The ragged left only takes place when a paragraph ends so simply put
"\par" before the end:
#+begin_src org
,#+BEGIN_LaTeX
\begin{raggedleft}
From "Loris' Adventures in Orgland"
\par\end{raggedleft}
,#+END_LaTeX
#+end_src
Your code might look better this way, by the way:
#+begin_src org
,#+latex: \begin{raggedleft}
From "Loris' Adventures in Orgland"
,#+latex: \par\end{raddedleft}
#+end_src
as you can then use org syntax on the text elements.
HTH,
eric

Thanks, Eric, that did the trick.
The hint regarding
#+LaTeX:
is also useful - I had forgotten about that possibility and your point
about being able to use Org syntax on the text is a good one.
I tried searching for some relevant documentation on "#+LaTeX:", but
failed to find anything other that the Easy Template (Google's
"verbatim" search seems to use a different definition of "verbatim" to
mine). Maybe it should be mentioned in the manual somewhere in the
chapter "Embedded LaTeX".
Cheers,
Loris
