Latex export & Prosper Presentation

Latex export & Prosper Presentation

[Russell Adams]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1098 bytes --]

I've gotten a basic export to Prosper working for a presentation I'm
writing to give this weekend.

Here is the extra portion for .emacs:
(setq org-export-latex-classes (cons '("prosper"
     "% BEGIN Prosper Defaults
\\documentclass[pdf, contemporain]{prosper}
\\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\\usepackage[colorlinks,linkcolor=blue]{hyperref}
% END Prosper Defaults

"
     ("\\begin{slide}{%s}" . "\\begin{slide}{%s}"))
                                     org-export-latex-classes))

Unfortunately it doesn't appear that I can add a closure for the
slide, so a manual "\end{slide}" must go at the end of each.

Attached is the sample presentation, and it compiles after export
with:

latex Backups.tex && dvips Backups.dvi && ps2pdf Backups.ps

The pdflatex command doesn't work with Prosper.

Enjoy!

Thanks for describing this -- it works great!

The \end{slide} issue is a drag though.  In fact, I'm now wondering 
if it's possible to have a backward compatible change to 
org-export-latex-classes that adds optional 3rd and 4th sectioning 
strings to close each section so that the structure is:

(class-name
   header-string
     (unnumbered-section numbered-section
     [unnumbered-section-close numbered-section-close])
     ...)

where I've used square braces to indicate optional elements -- sorry 
I'm not much of a Lisp programmer.

Something like this would provide a lot more flexibility, and would 
allow one to do all sorts of "fancy" things -- minipages, boxes, 
maybe pictures constructed from hierarchical elements, etc.  You 
could even do tables without using org tables, say if the elements 
contain multiple paragraphs, which doesn't work so neatly in org tables.

Does anyone else think this would be useful?

As a hack, until we get around to define a closure:  I guess you could  
live with a single empty first slide?

Then you can do


    ("\\end{slide}\n\\begin{slide}{%s}" . "\\end{slide}\n\\begin{slide} 
{%s}"))
                                    org-export-latex-classes))

And just put a single \begin{slide} at the beginning and a single  
\end{slide} at the end.....

Hi Daniel, I do!

This is a good idea, and I have implemented it.  The structures are
now

   (class-name
    header-string
      (numbered-heading . unnumbered-heading)
      .......)

or

   (class-name
    header-string
      (numbered-open numbered-close unnumbered-open unnumbered-close)
      .......)

Mixtures of the two are also allowed.
