I’d like to use org-mode to create an academic poster like this one
(random example found using Google):
http://robjhyndman.com/images/PosterInterests_beamer-723x1023.png
As the LaTeX target, I use beamerposter which is basically just a skin
for Beamer:
https://github.com/deselaers/latex-beamerposter
https://www.ctan.org/pkg/beamerposter?lang=en
Such a poster typically consists of two columns (or more when landscape
format is used) and blocks stacked inside these columns. Sometimes, I
also need something more fancy like a block in a column and more columns
inside that block but that’s rare.
What I would like to write in org is something like the following:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
#+BEAMER: \begin{columns}
#+BEAMER: \begin{column}{0.48\columnwidth}
* Introduction
:PROPERTIES:
:BEAMER_ENV: block
:END:
This poster is about …
* Design
:PROPERTIES:
:BEAMER_ENV: block
:END:
To test A we did B.
#+BEAMER: \end{column}
#+BEAMER: \begin{column}{0.48\columnwidth}
* Discussion
:PROPERTIES:
:BEAMER_ENV: block
:END:
Our ground-breaking results show …
#+BEAMER: \end{column}
#+BEAMER: \end{columns}
#+END_SRC
However, this doesn’t work for two reasons:
1.) Org mode ignores that I want blocks and instead uses frame
environments.
2.) The closing \end{frame} macros are misplaced, e.g:
#+BEGIN_SRC latex
…
\begin{frame}[label={sec:orgheadline3}]{Discussion}
Our ground-breaking results show …
\end{column}
\end{columns}
\end{frame}
…
#+END_SRC
My question: What do I have to do in org to get the desired structure in
Latex? This structure would be something like the following:
#+BEGIN_SRC latex
\begin{columns}
\begin{column}{0.48\columnwidth}
\begin{block}{Introduction}
This poster is about
\end{block}
\begin{block}{Design}
To test A we did B.
\end{block}
\end{column}
…
#+END_SRC
Posters really are the only type of document that has consistently
resisted being taken over by org-mode. So I would be great to have a
solution for this.
