Yes, you are right. It is my fault. I am sorry for that. And thank you for your instruction of minimal config practice. I should and will follow it.

Re: [O] How to upgrade to make beamer export work
OMG, it is my fault. I used `C-c C-e l p` My screen is too small. I just saw the the `p` key. And I thought maybe beamer and latex share the same key now in the new orgmode exporter.

Re: [O] How to upgrade to make beamer export work
I was using spacemacs, and I updated orgmode (9.1.14) yesterday.
I have no beamer-related config except:
```
(require 'ox-beamer)
(setq org-latex-pdf-process '("latexmk -xelatex -outdir=%o %f"))
(add-to-list 'org-export-backends 'beamer)
```
I checked the `tex` output of the example, there is just `section`, no `frame`.

Yes, that is exactly what I did.

[O] How to upgrade to make beamer export work
I used orgmode to prepare my lecture materials. Now I upgrade org to the latest version, and read the [[new exporter][https://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/ox-overview.html]]. It seems the configure is much easier. But I cannot get my lectures right after all my efforts. So I start all over. I removed all my beamer configure. With the [[beamer example][https://orgmode.org/manual/A-Beamer-example.html]], I get a pdf (see attachment) like a latex article, no beamer frame. Is this normal? test.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document

Well, I am thinking whether this proposal would work: 1. `|@` as a separator, meaning the next cell will span multiple columns 2. `|$` as a separator, meaning the next cell will span multiple rows 3. the span will terminate when it meats a regular cell separator `|` 4. the content of the "multi-rows/columns cell"(the big cell) should be placed in the right-bottom single cell of the big one For example, these two tables have the same effect. #+BEGIN_SRC org |@ | header |$ | | h1 | h2 | h3 | |++| | a |@$ |$ | | d |@ | f | +-+-+-+ | h | | +-+-+ h3 | | h1 | h2 | | +-+-+-+ | a | | +-+ f | | d | | +-+---+ #+END_SRC I do not know if it can be implemented in a clear and simple way based on the current org-table and ox-* code. Maybe '|@n$m' like separator (m,n is a number) would be simpler. I do not know. But it is great if org supports multi-row/column cells in tables.

If I edit your example, org does not recognise it as > a table (or, at least, not a properly defined one). I mean when I export the table to html (see below), I get what I want. #+BEGIN_SRC org +-+-+-+ | h | | +-+-+ h3 | | h1 | h2 | | +-+-+-+ | a | b | c | +-+-+-+ | d | e | f | +-+-+-+ #+END_SRC #+BEGIN_SRC html h h3 h1 h2 a b c d e f #+END_SRC But there is no in the output. That is why I suggest maybe we can add org support to treat "===" as a separator of thead and tbody.
[O] How to create tables with multi-rows/columns cells?
It is quite common to have multi-rows/columns cells in talbe. But as far as I know, it seems impossible with the org built-in table editor. So I turned to the emacs built-in table, and create a simple example: #+BEGIN_SRC org +-+-+-+ | h | | +-+-+ h3 | | h1 | h2 | | +-+-+-+ | a | b | c | +-+-+-+ | d | e | f | +-+-+-+ #+END_SRC It works. However, when I export it to HTML, I find it does not contain tag (I would like to style the table head). So I'd like to know how do you guys to create such tables in org-mode. p.s. One workaround would be add support for the exporter to recognize `===` as a separator of table head and body #+BEGIN_SRC org +-+-+-+ | h | | +-+-+ h3 | | h1 | h2 | | +=+=+=+ | a | b | c | +-+-+-+ | d | e | f | +-+-+-+ #+END_SRC
