Hi,
 Following an earlier suggestion on the list:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/15010/focus=15077

I added the following to my .emacs file:

(add-to-list 'org-export-latex-classes
             '("beamer"
	       "\\documentclass[11pt]{beamer}
                \\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
                \\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
                \\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,graphicx,bm,multirow,colortbl,vector}
                \\usepackage{hyperref}
                \\usepackage{verbatim}
                \\setbeameroption{show notes}
                \\usetheme{Goettingen}
                \\useoutertheme{infolines}"
	       ("\\begin{frame}\\frametitle{%s}\\begin{itemize}"
"\\end{itemize}\\end{frame}"
		"\\begin{frame}\\frametitle{%s}\\begin{itemize}" "\\end{itemize}\\end{frame}")
	       ("\\item{%s}" . "\\item*{%s}")))

However, this gives me the error:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable org-export-latex-classes)

I am using Emacs 23.1 and org-mode 6.29trans in Windows Vista.

Any suggestions to fix the error are appreciated.

For this line to be working, the variable must have been defined.

Either precede the code with

  (require 'org-latex)

or wrap it into

(eval-after-load "org-latex" '(add-to-list....))

Thanks! That worked.

I had a a couple more questions about using latex-export.

1. 
* Slide 5
\uncover<2->
{appear from slide 2 on\\ }
\uncover<3-4>
{appears from 3 to slide 4\\ }
\uncover<4>{appears on slide 4\\ }
\uncover<3->{appears from slide 3 on\\ }

gets output as:

\begin{frame}\frametitle{Slide 5}
\label{sec-5}
\uncover<2->
\{appear from slide 2 on\\ \}
\uncover<3-4>
\{appears from 3 to slide 4\\ \}
\uncover<4>\{appears on slide 4\\ \}
\uncover<3->\{appears from slide 3 on\\ \}
\end{frame}

Is there a way to avoid { and } being output as \{ and \} , respectively.

2. Is there a way to add an attribute to latex lists (itemize, enumerate,
description} so that:

* Slide 1
 - x
 - y
 - z

gets output as:
\begin{itemize}[<+->]
\item x
\item y
\item z
\end{itemize}

Thanks again for the help, and the invaluable org-mode.

You can warp this code in #+begin_latex ... #+end_latex

Although you could always add

\beamerdefaultoverlayspecification{<+->}

to the preamble.

Have you tried adding it unconditionally in the org-export-latex-classes
alist?  I don't think it hurts to have it on by default (it costs a bit
of performance maybe, but it should not be noticeable.) OTOH, verbatim
is a can of worms: it should be avoided if at all possible. It cannot be
used in moving arguments (at all: see

http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=verbwithin

for details.) - and what beamer does with it is a mystery to me - hence
the "avoid at all costs" statement.

HTH,
Nick

I don't think the "avoid at all costs" is tenable when using beamer,
because of the need to insert code.

I have used alltt as well as verbatim, but it seems just as fragile.

I hope to provide a proposed beamer template sometime soon.

best,
Robert
