Re: [O] Help with sharing emacs-org presentation
Thanks, Jens, for your comment! I understand your point of view! My point is that Org mode is not ubiquitous and most people (esp. non-programmers) do not use emacs. But I do concur that Org mode is great for collaboration IF a team can agree to using it. Thanks for your interesting references! I am glad to learn about "single source" and OER. Your OER material looks fascinating: I don't know that .org file can be rendered instantaneously as HTML on GitLab. ~ Feiming On Wed, Oct 31, 2018 at 2:39 AM Jens Lechtenboerger < lech...@wi.uni-muenster.de> wrote: > On 2018-10-25, Feiming Chen wrote: > > > I gave a talk on emacs-org in a local workshop (Government Advances > > in Statistical Programming) in Washington D.C. yesterday.

Re: [O] Help with sharing emacs-org presentation
Hello,
This LaTex code to put before \begin{document} :
\AtBeginSection[]{\begin{frame}\frametitle{}\tableofcontents[currentsection,hideothersubsections]\end{frame}}
is very useful, because it recalls the steps of your presentation and
focuses on the current section.
I hope that helps.
Best wishes,

I wonder why you stress the following: - Not good for collaborative use (unlike Microsoft Office). - Good for private, non-collaborative use. My view is the opposite: Org mode is excellent for collaboration as it is plain text, suitable for diff/merge in Git repositories. Thanks to the separation of contents from style, cross-organizational collaboration is possible, which I find *very* hard with any office tool: Changing a document master leads to all kinds of layout destruction. Switching to a different corporate identity is just hard with what-you-see-is-what-you-get tools. In contrast, Org mode can be a basis for what is called Single Sourcing [1] in the context of technical writing. You can see my approach towards Open Educational Resources with Org mode at [2].

Some memorize best if they hear something. Others memorize best if they have visual input. Others memorize best if they somehow take that information into their hands (for example by writing). If all you give is auditory input, you will leave a lot of interested persons in your auditory in the cold. My 2 cents...
Re: [O] Help with sharing emacs-org presentation
I have already learned some cool org-mode features by looking at your .org file :-) My own mantra for preparing slide-packs is to minimize text. I want the audience to listen to me rather than reading text on my slides. My 2 cents... -- Martin Schöön
