Formatting issue when exporting with LaTeX/Beamer

Formatting issue when exporting with LaTeX/Beamer

Hello-

Thanks in advance for any help/advice. I am new to LaTeX and Beamer and did not find any documentation on this specific issue.

I am trying to export to Beamer to create presentations out of my OrgMode documents and I’m running into a strange formatting issue. The headers are being printed out before any of the content. So my export will show all the headers in order, followed by all the content in order, instead of exporting header/content, header2/content2, etc.

I’ve even tried copying and pasting exactly the .emacs code and the template code from the following tutorials, and the same issue still occurs:


  *   http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/beamer/tutorial.html
  *   http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Using_Beamer_and_org_mode_to_write_slide_shows
  *   http://emacs-fu.blogspot.ca/2009/10/writing-presentations-with-org-mode-and.html

Here’s a screenshot of a template that I copied without alteration and attempted to export:

[cid:05F36DB2-7CF1-4722-82E2-E051CCBD3DD5]

And here’s a screenshot of the output, as you can see, the headings and content are out of order:

[cid:0352FCD4-8925-49D9-8C08-CA05DD61C3D3]

I’ve tried various combinations of the .emacs code from the websites listed above, but the only one that works is this (which is what I’m currently using to export):


(require 'ox-latex)
(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
             '("beamer"
               "\\documentclass\[presentation\]\{beamer\}"
               ("\\section\{%s\}" . "\\section*\{%s\}")
               ("\\subsection\{%s\}" . "\\subsection*\{%s\}")
               ("\\subsubsection\{%s\}" . "\\subsubsection*\{%s\}")))


Thank you,

I think you are missing the following line:

#+options: H:2

This tells org that second level headings are the frames and first level
are sections.  Otherwise, first level are taken as frames and so you
have only one frame in your example.  See the tutorial at

http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/beamer/ox-beamer.html

and, in particular, the "configuring frame export level" section.

The first piece of  advice I have is: don't post  screenshots - they are
useless. I can't  cut and paste from the screenshot  to try to reproduce
the problem, so  I would have to type  the damn thing in (or  as in this
case, hunt around in the links you provided to find something that I can
work with). Why are you making  life difficult for the people whose help
you are seeking? Just include your org file directly in the email - see
below for an example.

What version of emacs/org are you using? I can't reproduce this ordering
problem, although I  do have troubles producing the  code listings.

Versions:
Org-mode version 8.2.5h (release_8.2.5h-682-g080f1d @
/home/nick/elisp/org-mode/lisp/)

GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.6.4) of
2014-02-28

Here is the org file I used:

*** some C++ code
#+begin_LaTeX

    std::cout << i << ": hello, world!"
              << std::endl; \end{lstlisting}
#+end_LaTeX

*** and some Python

#+begin_LaTeX
\begin{lstlisting}[language=python] for i in range(1,10):
        print i, "hello, world!"  \end{lstlisting}
#+end_LaTeX

If I get rid of the code  listings, everything works as expected for me.
With the code listings I get this error - no idea why:
