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. What happens with emacs -Q and loading in org
with no customizations?

Thanks a lot, it may be that my emacs suffers some ``package-overload'',
i.e., maybe it's due to an interference with some other lisp stuff I
load.
I just wanted to hear if it's known to be a current glitch of the
export-beamer thing, before I try to drill down (especially since the
priority is to make he slides compile again rather than
trouble-shooting..... [I just escape to native-latex for multi-cols for
now]
When done with the presentation, I will try to narrow it down, cutting
down also on the amount of slides (because currently is a long and
complex thing, which I cannot expect others to trawls for abnormalitiees
;-)

Hi,
one week ago I reported that export to latex/beamer refuses to export,
and the reason where it did not do it was, according to my email
BMCOL
(slides that contained that derailed the export terminally).
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).
