Hi Eric,
I am now getting interested in beamer support. I think this is
interesting enough to implement special support for making beamer
slides.
Can I ask you to think about it in general terms, what would be useful
to have?
One of the problems with your most recent solution for the columns
problem is that the document no longer exports really well to a normal
LaTeX document - or is this no issue because beamer has its own way to
produce handouts, so that the LaTeX export of a document intended for
beamer is not so interesting?
But also in a broader sense: What would be useful? I think making
slides in this way, through org, could be extremely fast and useful.
- Carsten
