Hi Chantal,

One way around this would be turn off =org-mode='s automatic inclusion of the information in the #+AUTHOR: line.  This can be done by setting the export option =author= to nil --- see here: http://orgmode.org/manual/Export-options.html  Then, you could add your own \author[...]{..........} statement.  I haven't tested this, but it seems like it should work.

HTH,
Chris

Hello,

I would like to export a document in LaTeX using the beamer class. I do
not know how to have a running author different from the whole list of
authors. In LaTeX, this would be written :

\author[Foo]{Foo \and Bar}

Thank you for your help,
Chantal.
