Dear all, Has anyone recently used org-beamer to write lecture notes? I'm now updating my lecture notes on a R course, which previously I wrote in latex with beamer. I'm intrigued by the possibility of using org mode directly, although I am yet to be convinced whether it will be any easier than using auctex directly. Has anyone written a set of lecture notes recently in org mode, to persuade me?
For example, see http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/eglen/emacs/beamer.txt for how I set up emacs with beamer, so that e.g. the table of contents feature from reftex-toc works. Also, I have auctex set up so that C-M-x "sends" the current slide to latex for processing, so that I can just see how the current slide gets typeset rather than recompiling the whole document. Can I process just the current slide in org mode? So far I've found the following two sites useful: http://emacs-fu.blogspot.com/2009/10/writing-presentations-with-org-mode-and.html http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-beamer/tutorial.php [In this tutorial.php, the link in footnote 1 is brokenn -- how do I download presentation.org?] For those interested, my R lecture notes (both .tex and beamer pdf) are freely available as accompanying material for a paper I wrote last year: http://www.ploscompbiol.org/doi/pcbi.1000482 If I make significant progress with org mode and beamer, I'd be happy to provide extra materials.
