Hi again
After some experimentation, I'm a bit puzzled. So, let's check my
understanding:
1. the beamer exporter is a derived exporter and its parent is the latex
exporter
2. I'm over-writing the following option slots in :options-alist my tests:
(:latex-class "BEAMER_CLASS" nil "beamer" t)
(:latex-class-options "BEAMER_CLASS_OPTIONS" nil
"[aspectratio=169,t,12pt]" t)
3. I have a file with the following lines at the beginning:
#+BEAMER_CLASS_OPTIONS: [ignorenonframetext,presentation]
#+BEAMER_THEME: default
#+LaTeX_CLASS: article
#+LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [a4paper,twoside,11pt]
and when I export to LaTeX, the document class is correctly set:
\documentclass[a4paper,twoside,11pt]{article}
However, when I export to Beamer, I was expecting
\documentclass[ignorenonframetext,presentation]{beamer}
but get the same
\documentclass[a4paper,twoside,11pt]{article}
So apparently, overwriting the :options-alist doesn't have any effect.
What am I not understanding about (org-export-define-derived-backend)
Thanks for any help, /PA
