In any case, I think this will be very difficult to do directly, due to the reason you have already noted: org is an outliner at its heart! Instead, you could consider using \note{}s (search list as there was a discussion about these a while back). You can create notes for a given slide easily enough: #+begin_src org * A slide - one item - another item #+latex: \note{% - something to tell the audience or - make sure to point out some important point - whatever you want to put in notes basically... #+latex: } * Another slide - an item - yet another #+end_src org and then generate documents without notes, with slides and notes and with notes alone. Quite powerful but may not be necessarily what you wanted... HTH, eric -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.50.1 : using Org-mode version 7.7 (release_7.7.257.g0dd1)
