Aloha Carsten,
I've had a chance to look at your first draft of beamer support.
You've done a terrific job. So much of the draft is right that it
helps to focus thoughts on the parts that are candidates for
discussion and possible change.
Along those lines, I don't think using headlines for
\begin{columns} ... \end{columns} works very well. I think headlines
should be reserved for sectioning, frames, elements of frames (blocks
and friends), and notes. Once a headline level has been designated
for frames (n), then headline n+1 becomes an element of the frame, and
headline n+2 becomes notes for the frame (following Daniel Martins'
lead).
To my mind, columns are attributes of a frame, so they might better be
handled as a property of the frame. Frame elements are specifically
assigned to a column, or not, using a property.
Roughly, this would yield the following syntax, which ought to export
fairly cleanly with the HTML and LaTeX exporters.
#+BEAMER_FRAME_LEVEL 2
* Section 1
** Frame 1
:PROPERTIES:
:FRAME_COLS: 2
:END:
*** Element 1 :block:
:PROPERTIES:
:IN_COL: 1
:END:
- Item 1
- Item 2
**** Notes about Element 1 block
- Keyed to Item 1
- Keyed to Item 2
*** Element 2 :block:
:PROPERTIES:
:IN_COL: 2
:END:
- Item 3
- Item 4
*** Element 3
This element spans two columns. The headline doesn't appear on the
slide.
*** Element 4 (headline doesn't appear on the slide because not a
block or friend)
:PROPERTIES:
:IN_COL: 1
:END:
- Item 5
- Item 6
** Frame 2
*** Element 1
- Item 1
- Item 2
**** Notes
- Note for item 1
- Note for item 2
Thanks again for drafting what should be a very useful addition to the
already insanely useful org-mode.
HTH,
Tom
