Well, this inserts raw LaTeX in the exported file. So yes, that should always work. Footnotes: [1] <http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#bug-reporting> -- Suvayu Open source is the future.

My mistake was exporting to LaTeX As PDF file instead of As PDF file (Beamer) In principle it is clear when you do 'C-x C-e' that you should choose the latter option if you are using Beamer. However, I didn't come across any mention of export to Beamer being different from export to non-beamer PDF in the documentation. So maybe it would be an idea to add a section about exporting to the tutorial http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/beamer/tutorial.html to help the easily-confused, like myself. As a matter of interest, has the new exporter always behaved like that? And what is the rationale behind the distinction? >> http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/beamer/presentation.org.html >> >> I found the more cryptic >> >> #+latex_header: \mode<beamer>{\usetheme{Madrid}} >> >> which did work. > > Well, this inserts raw LaTeX in the exported file.

I see you have already solved your problem (export to beamer, not LaTeX). FYI, the line you found was for the previous exporter which did not have a separate export to beamer. This will still work but the new BEAMER_THEME directive is more friendly! -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 24.3.50.1, Org release_8.1.1-7-gaecdf5 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
