Re: [O] Beamer framebreak

2017-01-28 Thread edgar 

Hey Fabrice,

It's me again. I looked at your (README.org), and I finally understood 
how to force a framebreak! Thank you very much. I feel stupid, because 
it's the same solution which has been around on the Internet, but I 
finally know how to use it. For others who might be interested:


If your heading number 2 (** Heading) creates a slide (look at the 
#+OPTIONS: of your org file. If you have H:2, then this is the case. If 
you have another number after H:, it means that your slides will be 
created with that level of heading. This is all in the manual, honest!), 
then add the property for allowframebreaks,label= 
(https://bitbucket.org/rivanvx/beamer/issue/265/including-frame-label-option-stops):


#+OPTIONS: author:nil H:2
* Heading #1
** Heading #2
  :PROPERTIES:
  # The 0.8 forces the content to fit in 0.8 of the whole slide
  # (without considering navigation bars, etc.)
  :BEAMER_OPT: allowframebreaks=0.8,label=
  :END:
  Your long contents go here (and more than one slides are generated 
automatically)


So, if you try this (doesn't work):
#+OPTIONS: author:nil H:2
* Heading #1
** Heading #2
*** Heading #3
  :PROPERTIES:
  :BEAMER_OPT: allowframebreaks=0.8,label=
  :END:
  Your long contents will be cropped within a single slide

This doesn't work either:
#+OPTIONS: author:nil H:2
* Heading #1
** Heading #2
  :PROPERTIES:
  :BEAMER_OPT: allowframebreaks=0.8,label=
  :END:
*** Heading #3
  Your long contents will be cropped into more than one slide, wherein 
the first slide will possibly be the headline.


Now that I think of it, may be I should turn this into a feature 
request. Is that reasonable? (to force a framebreak when a block 
overflows a slide, resulting in cropped contents).

You may -- or may not -- be interested by some kind of reference
material I wrote about Org-Beamer.

See https://github.com/fniessen/refcard-org-beamer.

Still partly a WIP, though.

No problem at all and hope that helped. It's definitely confusing initially!

Re. the headline thing, I just meant that this:

* something

** something

is not this:

- something
   - something

Asterisks are headlines, but I took your inquiring why the "Notes on
project" (with dashes) were not on separate slides. I might have
misunderstood, though.


Good luck!

Thanks.

"weird sounds from knee bending" is the technical term for "Oh, sh...t!"


Hope that helps some?
It is _really_ great! Thank you very much for all your effort and time

If you want to use three levels as frames in some places, I would
suggest you make all frames third level.  Second level headlines then
become subsections but you can actually skip form 1st to 3rd level
headlines and the beamer export won't care, e.g.

* section
*** a frame
*** another frame
* second section
** subsection
*** frame


This sounds interesting. I will try. Thanks.



I think you'll find it easier to simply have a consistent layout across
the document.

Thanks again.

Your org file layout is a little confused.  You have told org that
beamer slides (aka frames) will be level 2 headlines (so level 1
headlines become sections).  Then you, for instance, some content
directly under a level 1 headline which is ignored.  Third level
headlines will become blocks within a frame.

Currently, it is part of the "Structure and Function" slide because your
figures are within a level 3 headline which is converted to a
block.  Put the figures under a second level headline instead.

Blocks are 3rd level headlines so put the contents within a 3rd level
headline.

Hello,

I am new to org-mode, because it seems impressive, and I think that it 
will make my life much simpler. Thank you!


For the following, I am attaching example org, pdf and tex files (the 
last two generated by org-mode > export beamer PDF).


First, why does slide 3/4 contain two main headlines fit into a single 
slide?


Second, how do I force a new slide so that the "Figures" block is not 
cut-off on slide 4/4?


Third, how do I get the contents of "Description of the project" (slide 
3/4) into a block (like Concepts in slide 4/4).


I looked around and could not find my answers. Your support is much 
appreciated. Thanks.
