Sometimes, I also need something more fancy like a block in a column and more columns inside that block but that=E2=80=99s rare. What I would like to write in org is something like the following: #+BEGIN_SRC org #+BEAMER: \begin{columns} #+BEAMER: \begin{column}{0.48\columnwidth} * Introduction :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_ENV: block :END: This poster is about =E2=80=A6 * Design :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_ENV: block :END: To test A we did B. #+BEAMER: \end{column} #+BEAMER: \begin{column}{0.48\columnwidth} * Discussion :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_ENV: block :END: Our ground-breaking results show =E2=80=A6 #+BEAMER: \end{column} #+BEAMER: \end{columns} #+END_SRC However, this doesn=E2=80=99t work for two reasons: 1.) Org mode ignores that I want blocks and instead uses frame environments. 2.) The closing \end{frame} macros are misplaced, e.g: #+BEGIN_SRC latex =E2=80=A6 \begin{frame}[label=3D{sec:orgheadline3}]{Discussion} Our ground-breaking results show =E2=80=A6 \end{column} \end{columns} \end{frame} =E2=80=A6 #+END_SRC My question: What do I have to do in org to get the desired structure in Latex? This structure would be something like the following: #+BEGIN_SRC latex \begin{columns} \begin{column}{0.48\columnwidth} =20=20=20=20 \begin{block}{Introduction} This poster is about \end{block} \begin{block}{Design} To test A we did B. \end{block} \end{column} =E2=80=A6 #+END_SRC Posters really are the only type of document that has consistently resisted being taken over by org-mode. So I would be great to have a solution for this. =20=20 Titus --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJVwZ4qAAoJEK40WfPGE2idmtMH/2AeUVfYscwrSZ/LrPnERX7O xIPcE7BJfc07YI6jUMKvH0z3Vpex0hoIBrhryG5uBzfKpnjmwsOOo8I5ml58WrJN VfeUTFNeuzemYwF+X4rloRXyixQHpJAdDgzOeK2qWmeWsdc5Vry8XoutFlZfpCsY UlKNPkCjZLAiswmpWjBP3Gs4WpKdtLG8uPOdCjADxYhBAhQS68zqF2gGJCd6mahv gnx+xsShS5QfoB/eWXgkfGt+Z/HC99/wWfaGQs8pB9exKDtQh4Yxm+PdzdfAabBu AAPN5rxxEcAnx1sM1oup20NShyxbrNyG8gCz1YwqIr8no2AREmztHeLhVb2zVLA= =H05/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
