I've just started using orgmode to create Beamer presentations, and have a
question.

In the worg documentation
(http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-beamer/tutorial.html), it gives
an example of how enclosing text in "@" signs is supposed to result in
highlighted red text. When I try it, I get text surrounded by two "@"
signs...

Following suggestions from this list back in 2010, I tried customizing
org-export-latex-emphasis-alist to

Value: (("*" "\\textbf{%s}" nil)
 ("/" "\\emph{%s}" nil)
 ("_" "\\underline{%s}" nil)
 ("+" "\\st{%s}" nil)
 ("=3D" "\\protectedtexttt" t)
 ("~" "\\verb" t)
 ("@" "\\alert{%s}" nil))


but this doesn't seem to help either.

Can anyone tell me how to get this working?

Thanks.

By the way, org-version reports: Org-mode version 7.8.09
(release_7.8.09-481-g3c3402 @
