Example for beamer export with blocks and twocolumn

Example for beamer export with blocks and twocolumn

[Loris Bennett]

Hi,

Is there a complete example of getting blocks and two-columns to work
with beamer export? The corresponding code is not being generated in the
latex file. I assume there is something wrong with my
org-export-latex-classes. I'm using Org-mode 7.3 with Emacs 23.1.1.  

This seems to have cropped up before, but I didn't see a solution that
seemed applicable to my case.

Thanks,

Loris

This is an example from a resent presentation I gave. This shows up as
a plot on the left column and 2 equations related to the plot on the
right column.


#+BEAMER_FRAME_LEVEL: 3

Thanks for the reply. However, I my problem is not with the main
presentation part of the org file.

What I would really like to see is

1. the preamble to the presentation where the MACROs LaTeX_CLASS options
etc. are given

2. The value org-export-latex-classes

I have found various examples, but when I put it together, structures
such as blocks and two-column just are not exported to the LaTeX file.

Could some one provide me with a *complete* example?

Thanks

Loris

I gave that, only one line for me. (there are other lines but they are
not related to columns) Here it is again,


#+COLUMNS: %40ITEM %10BEAMER_env(Env) %9BEAMER_envargs(Env Args)
%4BEAMER_col(Col) %10BEAMER_extra(Extra)


> 2. The value org-export-latex-classes

I didn't customise anything, this is the default.

(("article" "\\documentclass[11pt]{article}"
  ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
  ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
  ("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}")
  ("\\paragraph{%s}" . "\\paragraph*{%s}")
  ("\\subparagraph{%s}" . "\\subparagraph*{%s}"))
 ("report" "\\documentclass[11pt]{report}"
  ("\\part{%s}" . "\\part*{%s}")
  ("\\chapter{%s}" . "\\chapter*{%s}")
  ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
  ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
  ("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}"))
 ("book" "\\documentclass[11pt]{book}"
  ("\\part{%s}" . "\\part*{%s}")
  ("\\chapter{%s}" . "\\chapter*{%s}")
  ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
  ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
  ("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}"))
 ("beamer" "\\documentclass{beamer}" org-beamer-sectioning))

OK, reading the replies I received, I realised that my
org-export-latex-classes was borked, due to my somewhat random
tweaking. I removed the customisation and, hey presto, blocks and
two-column appeared.

Thank for the help

Loris,

did you have a look at the tutorial on Worg:

: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-beamer/tutorial.php

it includes a link to an example presentation,

: http://orgmode.org/worg/sources/org-tutorials/org-beamer/presentation.org

one that works /out of the box/ with org, or should...  and the example
includes a slide that is basically what you are trying to do.

HTH,
eric

Hi Eric,

The examples do indeed work out of the box. My problem was that I was am
using Emacs 23.1.1, which comes with orgmode 6.21b. I then set up
org-export-latex-classes by hand for 'beamer' and got things sort of
working apart from blocks and two-column. I subsequently installed
orgmode 7.3, but still retained my customisations, and was thus still
unable to get blocks and two-column. Removing the customisation fixed
things.

Perhaps a remark about how to set org-export-latex-classes could be
added to the documentation in the wiki, particularly since the current
Debian stable comes with emacs 22.2, which presumably contains a yet older
version of orgmode.

Cheers

Loris

Good point.  I'll update the beamer tutorial on Worg to make sure it
states clearly what version of org is required.  I don't think there's
any mileage to be gained in going into details about
org-export-latex-classes, however.
