Thanks Carsten! Definitely drop powerpoint... I would highly recommend org-mode to you ;-) Seriously, the arguments for beamer versus PP are the same as (IMO) latex versus Word and, for me, come down to text versus binary and open versus proprietary... > I think we need a good beamer tutorial on Worg, including this > column stuff, and some text about image treatment. > > Any volunteers?

I may be able to help write such a tutorial (although not before xmas as I'm bogged down with lectures [and hence my interest in getting columns working in beamer!] at the moment). At the moment, the only thing that is missing in org-mode to beamer is some way to specify arguments to the \frame command, options such as [shrink] or [t]. At the moment, there is no mechanism that supports this. Something like attr_frame may be necessary just as we do with figures, as in: ,---- | #+attr_frame: shrink=20 | *** This is a slide with a lot of text | ... `---- I have no idea how easy or difficult this would be to implement, mind you. There is also the issue of animation, specifically the <N> tags for items in lists but most behaviour like this can be handled with \pause statements so I'm not too worried about this. _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
