[O] Macro expansion to control beamer template
Hello,
at the moment I revise my course lectures and of course I use org-mode
for that. I was searching for an easy way to create fullframe. After
searching a bit in the mailing list, I found out that the 8.0-pre with
its new beamer exporter already has this functionality. Therefore I
switch to the current git-version. Wonderful work by the way!
I created a beamer template file that I control with macros. My
org-mode config file has the following snippet:
(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
(list beamer
(file-string (concat custom-basedir templates/beamer.tex))
'(\\section{%s} .\\section*{%s})
'(\\subsection{%s} . \\subsection*{%s})
'(\\subsubsection{%s} . \\subsubsection*{%s})))
The beamer.tex file contains snippets like that:
\documentclass[xetex,aspectratio={{{BEAMERRATIO}}}]{beamer}
[...]
\newcommand{\myEmail}{\urlEMAIL}
\newcommand{\myUrl}{\urlURL}
\newcommand{\myShortConf}SHORTCONF
\newcommand{\myLongConf}LONGCONF
This does not work anymore. After searching a bit in the ml archive I
have read that the macro is not as powerful as before. The macro works
only in the org file and not in my template file. What is the best way
to work around this problem?
Thanks in Advance.

Would an INCLUDE in the Org file do the work for you?
Would you agree with such a solution (having to explicitly put one extra line
in all your Org Beamer files)?
Best regards,

Good idea! I think I can live with one addition line, when I will
customize org-beamer-insert-options-template :) I'll give it a try
tomorrow.
Thanks for the tip!
