Carsten, Thanks for this! After learning a bit about git branches (more than I probably wanted to know ;-) and a bit more about org mode columns view, I can say that I like what you have done. I've been playing with your sample file for a short while and it looks a good design which seems to support everything /I/ would want and does so in an easy way (especially the combination of the new C-c C-b special org-beamer command and columns view). I've run into a few niggles but I need to play some more (probably over the weekend) to see whether some of them are my fault or due to bugs in the code. However, some immediate niggles or suggestions are: - I need to be able to specify arguments for columns (i.e. the environment, not specific columns), specifically often [t] to make two columns align vertically - I don't understand what the difference between opt and envargs is. In fact, I see no reference to BEAMER_opt in the document you wrote yet your example has opt as one of the column view specifications. - it would be nice if when a column heading is also a block heading, that the tags generated (which, by the way, is a really nice feature) include both block and column tags to make it easy to spot the column aspect. You'll probably be hearing from me soon again! Oh, and thanks for the separate email showing me how to do my page 100 with the new setup. How to do it was actually quite clear from the example you gave in the other message. Very straightforward and does work nicely. Thanks again, eric
