Hello Nicolas,
It took me quite some time, but I'm at the end of converting a 90 slides
presentation from the old to the new exporter.
In that presentation, there is (just!) one thing which does not work anymore:
the frame subtitles.
Before, I could write:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* News \\ Technology
...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and get that exported as:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{News}
\framesubtitle{Technology}
...
\end{frame}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
(or similar.)
Now, such a title is simply cut over 2 lines; hence, the use of a bad font (in
LaTeX) for the subtitle (font as big as the one customized for the title
itself).
How could we write subtitles again in Beamer presentations?
Best regards,
Seb

It was discussed a few months ago.
To sum it up, I don't like that syntax, because it's very close to line
breaks. But I'm not against some easy way to add a subtitle to a frame.
A special property isn't satisfactory either, because those aren't
parsed. So
:beamer_subtitle: *bold*
will probably not give you what you expect. Do you have any suggestion
about it?
Meanwhile, doesn't the following work?
#+BEAMER: \framesubtitle{Technology}

BTW, it has to be emphasized: just ONE thing for which I could not find a
direct mapping toward a solution; that's pretty excellent!

I must have missed it.

But the advantage was that you could almost not expect that markup as a valid
string. While, would we opt for:
- [Title] Subtitle
- Title > Subtitle
you wouldn't be so sure.
Note that, to be closer to the real Beamer syntax, one could think of:
- {Title} Subtitle
- Title {Subtitle}
Such syntax have the advantage to stay readable and quite explicit, even if
translated "verbatim" in other backends (such as HTML): that was already the
case of the old syntax: in HTML, "Title \\ Subtitle" was very readable, even
if not processed in any particular way (and one could image a CSS-only
solution to even present it more as a real subtitle).

No, it would not be really satisfactory, not really for bold (as, anyway,
titles are generally bold), but more for = markups: "Code for =org-agenda=",
for an example of subtitle.

Yes, meanwhile, that does work.
Best regards,
