To: emacs-orgmode
I've been trying to follow the various tutorials on the web
to do beamer in org-mode. I've used beamer, latex and emacs
for many years but am finding that none of the examples on
the web work totally s intended in my attempts to use
org-mode with beamer.
I have copied verbatim several examples such as from here:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-beamer/tutorial.html#sec-4_1
When I run them I get the following problems - plus others
I will go into later if necessary:
1. The title page does not have a title - just the date.
When I check the latex file created from the org file I
notice that a \maketitle command occurs outside a frame environment
- whereas in beamer I normally use \titlepage inside a frame
environment to create the titlepage.
2. \alert command does not work - even with the additions to .emacs
suggested here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg21507.html
(And there are no errors in running the .emacs file)
Always the @ symbol appears in the latex created from org as @.
I wonder whether there is some configuration I am missing.
Other aspects of the slides are normal - bullets and
frametitles specifically.

I am also having difficulties running Beamer from org-mode. I am running a fully updated Ubuntu with snapshot emacs and a daily updated git version of org-mode. I am not able to get blocks, lists, and colums to work. I have a feeling from Googling quite a bit that the problem is due to some interaction between my org-mode header and .emacs. Unfortunately, the org-mode manual does not state how to configure .emacs for Beamer export. There must be something going on with the levels of headers and the B_Block directive. Basically, I can not get the example to work. Here is the relevant part of my .emacs ------------------------------------------------- (setq org-export-latex-classes '(("article" "\\documentclass[11pt]{article}" ("\\section{%s}" .

My immediate response would be to ask why you aren't using \maketitle given that the command is beamer-aware? That is, \maketitle will create a title page whose format is defined by the beamer theme you have selected. Otherwise, you could always customise =org-export-latex-title-command= to nothing and use direct latex code to do what you want: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+begin_latex \begin{frame} \titlepage \end{frame} #+end_latex --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I've not tried this. > 2. \alert command does not work - even with the additions to .emacs > suggested here: > http://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg21507.html > (And there are no errors in running the .emacs file) > Always the @ symbol appears in the latex created from org as @.

As far as possible I use the "stock" ubuntu (maverick - 10.10) repositories for emacs and its associated software. So I'm using emacs 23.1.1 and org-mode 6.36c. The version of beamer I'm using, as described in the repositories, is latex-beamer 3.07-2ubuntu1. I am aware that there are more recent versions available - particularly of org-mode - but was trying to keep things simple. Let me also say that my aim was to arrive at an understanding of how to use org-mode for slide creation - since I do a lot of that - rather than to compose a specific set of slides. I realise that I could use direct latex code to solve the problems but that wasn't the point of the exercise. I've read more since I sent the email and now realise that the issues I brought up have been discussed earlier and where I can I've tried to use the proposed solutions. In particular I have this in my .emacs: (setq org-emphasis-alist (quote (("*" bold "<b>" "</b>") ("/" italic "<i>" "</i>") ("_" underline "<span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">" "</span>") ("=" org-code "<code>" "</code>" verbatim) ("~" org-verbatim "<code>" "</code>" verbatim) ("+" (:strike-through t) "<del>" "</del>") ("@" org-warning "<b>" "</b>"))) org-export-latex-emphasis-alist (quote (("*" "\\textbf{%s}" nil) ("/" "\\emph{%s}" nil) ("_" "\\underline{%s}" nil) ("+" "\\texttt{%s}" nil) ("=" "\\verb=%s=" nil) ("~" "\\verb~%s~" t) ("@" "\\alert{%s}" nil))) ) from a solution to the @ problem proposed by Eric somewhere. And I understand that I can use \maketitle normally to produce a title page in beamer - just tried on a hand-crafted (in emacs) latex-beamer file using my set up. To keep this email as brief as possible, let's take this snippet (verbatim) of an example from Eric: ----------------------------------start----------------------------------- #+TITLE: Writing Beamer presentations in org-mode #+AUTHOR: Eric S Fraga #+EMAIL: e.fraga@ucl.ac.uk #+DATE: 2010-03-30 Tue #+DESCRIPTION: #+KEYWORDS: #+LANGUAGE: en #+OPTIONS: H:3 num:t toc:t \n:nil @:t ::t |:t ^:t -:t f:t *:t <:t #+OPTIONS: TeX:t LaTeX:t skip:nil d:nil todo:t pri:nil tags:not-in-toc #+INFOJS_OPT: view:nil toc:nil ltoc:t mouse:underline buttons:0 path:http://orgmode.org/org-info.js #+EXPORT_SELECT_TAGS: export #+EXPORT_EXCLUDE_TAGS: noexport #+LINK_UP: #+LINK_HOME: #+startup: oddeven #+startup: beamer #+LaTeX_CLASS: beamer #+LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [bigger] #+latex_header: \mode<beamer>{\usetheme{Madrid}} #+BEAMER_FRAME_LEVEL: 2 #+COLUMNS: %20ITEM %13BEAMER_env(Env) %6BEAMER_envargs(Args) %4BEAMER_col(Col) %7BEAMER_extra(Extra) * Methodology ** A simple slide This slide consists of some text with a number of bullet points: - the first, very @important@, point! - the previous point shows the use of the special markup which translates to the Beamer specific /alert/ command for highlighting text.

Excellent re: title problem! Regarding the @ problem, where and how do you make the settings.

* Org-beamer problems @ 2011-01-21 2:31 Bill Moran 2011-01-21 21:11 ` Eric S Fraga 0 siblings, 1 reply; 26+ messages in thread From: Bill Moran @ 2011-01-21 2:31 UTC (permalink / raw) To: emacs-orgmode I have installed the latest (git) version of org-mode and have stripped out all customizations from I think. I've copied Eric's two column example from here http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-beamer/tutorial.html with the headers given there. And I can't get either blocks or columns to work. There is no block or column command in the latex produced from the org file. I guess it's something to do with the value of the variable org-export-latex-classes but have been unable to find a statement of what that should be. I think I've undone all customizations of that variable from earlier attempts but can't be sure. Thanks for your help. Bill ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 26+ messages in thread

I have no idea what is going on but I can confirm that something is missing.

Although I do customise mine, if I include this in the above test (-Q start), it makes no difference. I do not change the "beamer" entry in any case.

Now columns are working in some fashion but apparently not blocks. The two column slide is spread across two slides each with one column. I'll work on it some more later - and test your slide on the website. So something else in my emacs customization - which is pretty extensive but (since yesterday) has nothing other than vanilla for org-mode (just paths and your org-emphasis-alist ) - is causing a problem in producing the columns. I'll go through this later too and see if I can find it.

The change is a subtle one: I got rid of the "#+STARTUP: oddonly" customisation in the org file and indented all the headlines to use both odd and even levels. I have no idea why the =oddonly= setting causes problems. However, I do note that the documentation for =org-odd-levels-only= only mentions =odd= and =oddeven= for possible values of =#+STARTUP= so maybe my use of =oddonly= is the issue?

It creates blocks, examples and columns - so it works as it should. Next - but not immediately - is to find out why my usual .emacs doesn't work. Thanks for all of your help in sorting this out. I look forward to using org-mode to create slides. I'll report if I find the problem.
