Hi,
since recently I have a problem with exporting org-beamer-mode, the
culprit presumably
BMCOL
It's org, in beamer mode. 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

Works fine for me with org up to date from git. Not sure what to suggest.

In the meantime, I found one line that, when removed, solves the problem. In that sense, one might say, it's not BMCOL which is the problem but the the combination. The problematic ``feature interaction'' is with the package (require 'ox-extra) which in itself does not cause the damage, but if I add (ox-extras-activate '(ignore-headlines)) then that kills the export. Note: there had been a time when that still worked. PS: I tested it on the very latest git-pull (org-mode-version 9.1.6) and emacs-24.3.1 (but I had similar problems for emacs-25, only that I did not veryfy that it's the same line with ``ox-extra'' that causes the trouble, but it's more than plausible). >>>>> "Martin" == Martin Steffen <msteffen@ifi.uio.no> writes: Martin> Thanks a lot, it may be that my emacs suffers some Martin> ``package-overload'', i.e., maybe it's due to an Martin> interference with some other lisp stuff I load.
