The mode still allows to turn some headers into BMCOL (multiple colums) via some keybindings ``C-c C-b |'' (representing org-beamer-select-environment "|") That results in lines like ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** Some text :B_block:BMCOL: :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_col: 0.5 :END: ................................................................................. which is supposed to be a block taking 50% of the slide's width. So far so good (and as it used to be). Now, when /exporting/ the org-document to latex with C-c C-e l b (l for latex, b for beamer-class) the export peocedure trips over some error and nothing is exported (the same occurs if I directly want to generated the PDF, and also if I export the beamer-org document to a ``arcticle''-kind of style, so to have a script). The message for the error reads like ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [...] org-babel-exp process tac at position 108835... org-babel-exp process tac at position 109478... org-beamer--format-block: Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, nil ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It seems that the BMCOL is the culprit, org-beamer still export a complicated and long document (as it did before), but probably a recent update made it stumble over that particular element. Any suggestion where to look? thanks, Martin PS: org-version="9.1.6" emacs-version: GNU Emacs 24.3.1
