Specifying \institute[short]{long] in Beamer presentations

[Bernd Weiss]

Dear all,

I assume that my first email[1], which I sent yesterday, was not clear 
enough to draw any/enough attention.

I am currently preparing a Beamer presentation and I would like to 
include \institute[short]{long} into my org-file; it is important that I 
am able to define a short and a long entry for institute. How can I do 
this?

NB: Modifying "(add-to-list 'org-export-latex-classes '("beamer" ..." 
(see [1]), causes org-mode to ignore any

:PROPERTIES:
:BEAMER_env: frame
:BEAMER_envargs: [...]
:END:

statements.

Thanks,

Bernd

Since orgmode is a volunteer effort and the list is a relatively low
traffic list, often posts are answered after a few weeks. :)

Let me reword your issue, but my understanding of LaTeX is limited so
please correct me if I am wrong.

You want to specify your affiliation with the institute command. AFAIU
the \institute command is declared in the header of a tex file. So I am
a little confused by your use of properties in org. Shouldn't something
like this after the "#+NAME:" and "#+AUTHOR:" directives work fine?

#+LaTeX_HEADER: \institute[short name]{My awesome institute}

Hope this helps,

 This works for me:

#+BEAMER_HEADER_EXTRA:  \institute{My insitute}

 Cheers,

No, it was clear enough but unfortunately most of us do have day jobs to
attend to despite the attraction of playing with org and responding to
the mailing list!  A little patience goes a long ways when it comes to
getting help from volunteer efforts like org ;-)

(I'm not chastising, by the way -- just re-emphasising the nature of
open source and collaborative volunteer based projects.)

I have answered your original post to the list a few minutes ago.  I
hope it helps.

Hi,

I'm not sure but maybe you could declare it in your org file as:

#+MACRO: BEAMERINSTITUTELONG My long and detailed Institute
#+MACRO: BEAMERINSTITUTESHORT Short Institute


And change the export code as follows:

\\institute[beamerinstituteshort]{{{{beamerinstitutelong}}}}\n

But I didn't tested it, it is just an idea that comes up reading your mail.

Cool, thanks a lot! That solved all my problems.

Oh, yes, that helps and I cannot believe that I didn't realize it before.

Thanks,

Bernd

Hi Camille,

Thanks for your answer! That would not solve my problem since it blocks 
the functionality of frame ":PROPERTIES: ". I was simply looking for

#+BEAMER_HEADER_EXTRA:  \institute{My insitute}

or

#+LaTeX_HEADER: \institute[short name]{My awesome institute}

Thanks,

Bernd
