org-e-beamer missing from org-export-dispatch ui

[Suvayu Ali]

Hi Nicolas and others,

The option for beamer export seems to have gone missing from the
org-export-dispatch ui.  This is how I setup org-e-beamer export in a
minimal emacs instance.

  ;; load org-export and its backends
  (load-library "org-export")
  (load-library "org-e-latex")
  (load-library "org-e-beamer")
  
  (setq org-e-latex-pdf-process		; for experimental org-export
        '("xelatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"
  	"xelatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"
  	"xelatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"))
  
  ;; beamer export with the new exporter
  (add-to-list 'org-e-latex-classes
               '("beamer"
                 "\\documentclass\[presentation\]\{beamer\}"
                 ("\\section\{%s\}" . "\\section*\{%s\}")
                 ("\\subsection\{%s\}" . "\\subsection*\{%s\}")
                 ("\\subsubsection\{%s\}" . "\\subsubsection*\{%s\}")))

Hope this helps.

Thx for sharing.

I have
(setq org-e-latex-pdf-process 
  '("texi2dvi --pdf --clean --verbose --batch %f"))
grabbed from 
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2012-09/msg01005.html

Could you (or someone else) explain the differences and tradeoffs involved
between both setups ?

Best Regards,

Bernard

Once required, Beamer related export commands should appear in the same
menu as latex ("l" key).

Why don't you simply (require 'org-e-beamer) instead?

Well texi2dvi is very clever and run makeindex or bibtex as needed and
does that quite well until you encounter some of the bugs.  In my case I
encountered the infamous regex range in non-standard locales bug.

In conclusion, if texi2dvi works for you, using it is a good option.

I do not require libraries because then sometimes when I'm playing
around and do something like unload-feature, Emacs refuses to proceed
because my config file requires them.  I found load-library to be a
convenient work around.

Now about the issue I was having, after a recent pull the issue seems to
have disappeared.  Now it works with both require and load-library.
