I guess my question was this: - If I do a "straight" LaTeX block like this: \begin{exampleblock}{Example} Here is some text \end{exampleblock} I get the title "Example" for the block. - If I do it via org-beamer like this: *** Example block :B_example: :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_env: example :END: Here is some text Then I get the block title "Example (Example block)" That's what I mean. I guess if examples are *supposed* to say Example (what-the-example-is) then that's fine. I guess I use these blocks more for color differentiation's sake than actually needing them to be known as "examples" or "alerts." > > > Lastly, is there an advantage to using properties if one doesn't > anticipate > > using column view?

I like having org markup available rather than needing to do \emph{} in blocks since once inside of explicit LaTeX, org's markup doesn't get picked up. Thanks for the help!
