Export to LaTeX Beamer. [WAS: Re: [Orgmode] Re: LaTeX export bugs?]
Hello:
I was happy to see a simple formula for exporting to Beamer. The following
worked initially. However, this initialization routine was able to run only
when org-latex had already been loaded.

Is it possible to put this inside of a hook (say, when org-latex was loaded,

Emacs just reports the following when this code is included into the init
file:
Symbol's value as variable is void: org-export-latex-classes
After explicitly loading the library org-latex the code is executed and
the procedure works for exporting the example file---given that the latex
code must be cleaned up.
I haven't yet tried the following as a heading line:

Aloha Alan,
Here is a somewhat more elaborate set-up.
In customize org-export-latex-classes (or add to appropriate place
in .emacs):
\documentclass{beamer}
\mode{{{beamermode}}}
{
\usethemebeamertheme
\usecolorthemebeamercolortheme
}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\institutebeamerinstitute
\subjectbeamersubject
The macros here let me specify things that I like to change on a per-
file basis. So, in my org file there is this:
#+MACRO: BEAMERMODE presentation
#+MACRO: BEAMERTHEME Malmoe
#+MACRO: BEAMERCOLORTHEME tsdye
#+MACRO: BEAMERSUBJECT Evolutionary archaeology
#+MACRO: BEAMERINSTITUTE T. S. Dye \ Colleagues \\ B. P. Bishop Museum
I typically use sections and subsections in my talks (and the Malmoe
theme displays them nicely within beamer). So, I have this in
customize org-export-latex-classes:
INS DEL Choice: Value Menu Heading:
numbered: \section{%s}
unnumbered): \section{%s}
INS DEL Choice: Value Menu Heading:
numbered: \subsection{%s}
unnumbered): \subsection{%s}
INS DEL Choice: Value Menu Environment:
Opening (numbered) : \begin{frame}
\frametitle{%s}
Closing (numbered) : \end{frame}
Opening (unnumbered): \begin{frame}
\frametitle{%s}
Closing (unnumbered): \end{frame}
I have the standard value for org-export-latex-low-levels in customize:
Org Export Latex Low Levels: Hide Value Value Menu Convert as itemized
list
And then this in my .org file:
#+OPTIONS: H:3
#+OPTIONS: toc:nil
A typical slide show might look like this, in part:
* Introduction
** Evolution
*** Four Components of Evolutionary Processes
Inheritance = Social learning

Am I misunderstanding section 12.7.2 or is this a feature?
This does not work. What is happening here is that during LaTeX export,
these begin/end lines are inserted into the buffer. Then the LaTeX exporter
marks the entire content of this environment as something that should be
exported literally to LaTeX, this is why you can write
\begin{equation}
a=b
\end{equation}
and it will all be exported literally to LaTeX.
The fact that the table is transformed into a LaTeX table at all is actually
a bug which I will fix.
I'm not sure I understand what's the impact of your last sentence. But, maybe,
I don't have too...
Related to this:
Now, more important question, one of the few that's not answered from my
previous post: how can I shade or frame a table? For me, inserting #+LaTeX
tags is different from inserting #+BEGIN_LaTeX and #+END_LaTeX tags: the
first one should have no impact on the rest of the text.
Rephrasing my question, asking it again in other words (showing you I did not
follow correctly): for me,
--8---cut here---start-8---
#+BEGIN_framed
XXX
#+END_framed
--8---cut here---end---8---
is equivalent to:
--8---cut here---start-8---
#+LaTeX: \begin{framed}
XXX
#+LaTeX: \end{framed}
--8---cut here---end---8---
If not, that's not what I understand from reading section 12.7.2 about the
quoting of LaTeX code? Though, it seems (seemed) clear...
So there is not really a standard way to do what you want.
However, you could take a look as Chris Gray's contributes package
org-special-blocks.el
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-special-blocks.php
which was made just for this use case.
Excellent. Tested. Work perfectly, except for:
- Even with version 6.28, the `#+TBLNAME' tag must be located in column 0
(at least, for the highlighting features to work)
Fixed, thanks.
Same problem with the Org-special-blocks constructs: they need to be declared
in column 0; otherwise, they're just ignored...
A detail, though: putting my table in a `framed' block makes the highlighting
of the keywords such as TBLNAME and TBLFM disappear...
Many thanks for all the help you all provide us with!
Best regards,
Seb

Yes, the parser currently requires the structure to be consistent and does

OK.

Swapping these two last lines gives LaTeX errors... What's the
solution for having both: an environment around the table and formulas
that work?
This is a hard problem. It is on my list, but will not be fixed soon.
I had not seen this reply yet, when re-sending my question yesterday night.
I've got the solution from Chris to test...
Why do I have to escape the sign symbol as soon as I put LaTeX
commands (and not BEGIN..END_LaTeX) near it?
I do not understand what you mean here.
I don't understand the details of the export process. For me, if I have such a
table:
| Item | % |
|--+|
| Sample 1 | 20 |
and I want it framed, adding `#+LaTeX: \begin{framed}' and `#+LaTeX:
\end{framed}' should be transparent for the Org - LaTeX conversion process.
It is not: as soon as I do such a thing, I need to escape the `%' sign:
| Item | \% |
|--+|
| Sample 1 | 20 |
For me, the `%' should be escaped independently of whether I add or not such a
LaTeX tag.
- Hyperlink to other sections: see [[To be referenced]]. Looking in the
produced LaTeX code, it always link to the current section instead!
Have not yet looked into this. Use IDs or custom IDs to links to sections,
that is much better.
OK.
- Quotes are sometimes exported in a weird /fashion/ : see Industriels,
et commerçants. And compare with the quotes in the next sample
(Industriels et commerçants).
Fixed.
Thanks that *you* fixed it ;-)
See as well that /fashion/ is not in italic above.
It is for me
I guess you talk to someone else? ;-)
Apparently because of the special non-breaking space following the
second slash...
Looks like the non-breaking space did not make it through
the mailing process. What exactly are you using?
Here is one non-breaking space: `Â ', and here is what Emacs tells me about it
(when `C-u C-x ='):
--8---cut here---start-8---
character: Â (160, #o240, #xa0)
preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
code point: 0xA0
syntax: .which means: punctuation
category: .:Base, b:Arabic, j:Japanese, l:Latin
buffer code: #xC2 #xA0
file code: #xC2 #xA0 (encoded by coding system utf-8-emacs-unix)
display: by display table entry [?ø·] (see below)
The display table entry is displayed by these fonts (glyph codes):
ø·: -- no font --
face: `bold'
Character code properties: customize what to show
name: NO-BREAK SPACE
old-name: NON-BREAKING SPACE
general-category: Zs (Separator, Space)
decomposition: (noBreak 32) (noBreak ' ')
There are text properties here:
fontifiedt
--8---cut here---end---8---
I insert them when I have a colon (for example) preceded by a space: that
space is automagically converted to non-breaking one, thanks to the following
code in my `.emacs' file:
--8---cut here---start-8---
(defun my-insert-colon ()
(interactive)
(if (eq (char-before) ?\ ) ; normal space
(progn
(backward-delete-char 1)
(if (equal mode-name PDFLaTeX)
(insert ~:) ; for LaTeX-only
(insert  :))) ; non-breaking space
(insert :)))
(defun my-double-keys ()
Specific keys.
(interactive)
(local-set-key : 'my-insert-colon))
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'my-double-keys)
(add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'my-double-keys)
--8---cut here---end---8---
BTW, a possibility would be to translate the non-breaking space to
its LaTeX equivalent syntax (the tilde sign).
If you don't mind, this is on my wishlist of Org-mode features... You see my
Emacs code handles it when I write LaTeX myself, something I wanna avoid like
pest now

There is no text, in fact...
Don't understand why...
Some notes:
o Level 1 headlines become slide titles.
o Level 2 headlines become items in the slide and the text under the level
2 headlines ends up as text in the item.
o Level 3 headlines (not shown in the sample document) were supposed to
become notes, but this obviously will not work this way. I don't know
how to make it work. In the end, I edited the tex file by hand in
order to get the notes right.
o Moreover (and I think this is a bug in the latex exporter), I had to
rearrange the notes by hand: they ended up in the wrong slides.
I have had zero time to chase this however, so I am not really sure
why this happened.
o There was a problem with the table of contents (it's empty and it pushes
the title of the first slide down), so I manually zapped it from
the tex file.
o Latex had some peculiar objections to the labels and I did not care
about them, so I preprocessed them out of existence in the tex file.
After a little practice, I could edit the tex file to take care of all the
problems in about 5 minutes. Even so, after getting the bulk of the contents
of the presentation done, I did a final production of the tex file and did
the final touchups on that. One of these days, I'll have to go back and
figure out some of the problems. For now, this zeroth approximation to a
solution will have to suffice.
I think as well we can live with such minor troubles for the moment. And still
take advantage of Org...
Though, I have a bigger problem getting to there.
Best regards,
Seb

I don't understand why either, but it may be some setting in my setup
or your setup that leads to the different behavior. In case it matters,
I use the following versions:
GNU Emacs 23.0.93.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9) of 2009-05-11 on
gamaville.dokosmarshall.org
Org-mode version 6.28trans - git latest (more or less).
Here is an even more simplified version, using a variation of Bernt
Hansen's minimal .emacs. This version of slides.org takes care of the
zapping of the TOC at the org level, and the beamer section in
minimal.emacs gets rid of the third level Notes headlines (which cannot
work this way, in any case). I checked with
emacs -Q -l minimal.emacs slides.org
exported to latex, and ran the latex file through pdflatex a couple of
times. The resulting PDF file seems to work for me. Can you try it out?
Thanks,
Nick
Here's the minimal.emacs - you'll need to adjust the load path for your
setup:
,
| (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name ~/src/emacs/org/org-mode/lisp))
| (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '(\\.\\(org\\|org_archive\\|txt\\)$ .

Euh, no, *I* am supposed to answer: Fixed, thanks, and I'm doing it... ;-)

OK. I did not understand from the doc (section 3.5.1) that I had to prefix the
name of the cell with $:
REF is an absolute field [...] as described above.
I admit that, knowing it, I understand the above text better. Maybe is such
an example missing?
Now, more important question, one of the few that's not answered from my
previous post: how can I shade or frame a table? For me, inserting #+LaTeX
tags is different from inserting #+BEGIN_LaTeX and #+END_LaTeX tags: the first
one should have no impact on the rest of the text.
Though, it isn't as you can see with my following example:

#+ATTR_LaTeX: align=lrrr

Am I misunderstanding section 12.7.2 or is this a feature?

This does not work. What is happening here is that during
LaTeX export, these begin/end lines are inserted into the buffer.
Then the LaTeX exporter marks the entire content of this environment
as something that should be exported literally to LaTeX, this is
why you can write
\begin{equation}
a=b
\end{equation}
and it will all be exported literally to LaTeX.
The fact that the table is transformed into a LaTeX table at
all is actually a bug which I will fix.
So there is not really a standard way to do what you want.
However, you could take a look as Chris Gray's contributes package
org-special-blocks.el
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-special-blocks.php
which was made just for this use case.
Another workaround (hack, really) would be
#+LATEX_HEADER: \def\noop{}
\noop\begin{framed}
...
\noop\end{framed}
This will trick Org-mode by not having the \begin macro at
the beginning of a line, so it will not protect the content
of the environment. Dirty, but works.

[Orgmode] Re: LaTeX export bugs?
Hi all,
To make things clear, I love Org-mode (yes, I voted) and its LaTeX export.
More than you can imagine: I now look for avoiding writing any LaTeX document,
and have the export do all the work for me...
BTW, any solution for exporting to a Beamer presentation? I'd be very very
very interested by anything in that direction. That's the last piece of the
whole puzzle, IMHO.
Though, working more and more in that direction (Org-mode - LaTeX), I've seen
a couple of weird things that I've compiled into an ECM, for ease of use:
* Org
- If you have a level 3 item under a level 1 item, the level 3 doesn't get
exported to LaTeX. I know this is not a normal situation, but it happens
when restructuring some text, and you loose it in the exported view...
* THIS SECTION WILL DISAPPEAR!!
This text is not exported. Though, I'm not always aware of it, when
sections are long (spreading over more than one screen page)...
*** Level 2 -- is there a level 3 above?
- Table with formulas and environment /framed/ :
The following table will be framed, but TBL formulas do not work
anymore.
#+ATTR_LaTeX: align=lrrr
#+LaTeX: \begin{framed}
| Code | \euro{} | \% | \euro{} |
|---+-+-+-|
| GSM | | |0.00 |
| Internet | 168.45 | 100 | 168.45 |
| Matériel | 295.99 | 100 | 295.99 |
| Publicité | 214.25 | 33 | 70.70 |
| Autres| | |0.00 |
|---+-+-+-|
| Total | | | 535.14 |
#+LaTeX: \end{framed}
#+TBLFM: $4=$2*$3/100;%.2f::@7$4=vsum(@-...@-ii)
Swapping these two last lines gives LaTeX errors... What's the solution
for having both: an environment around the table and formulas that work?
Why do I have to escape the sign symbol as soon as I put LaTeX commands
(and not BEGIN..END_LaTeX) near it?
- Hyperlink to other sections: see [[To be referenced]]. Looking in the
produced LaTeX code, it always link to the current section instead!
- Quotes are sometimes exported in a weird /fashion/ : see Industriels,
et commerçants. And compare with the quotes in the next sample
(Industriels et commerçants).
See as well that /fashion/ is not in italic above. Apparently because of
the special non-breaking space following the second slash... BTW, a
possibility would be to translate the non-breaking space to its LaTeX
equivalent syntax (the tilde sign).
* To be referenced
This should be the landing point for the hyperreference above.
Once again, thanks to all of you that provide us with those wonderful
features...
Anybody commenting on the above?
Other things I've noticed:
- Even with version 6.28, the `#+TBLNAME' tag must be located in column 0 (at
least, for the highlighting features to work)
- Remote references to other tables are great, but they only work with
absolute references, not with named cells. On the wishlist (easy to
say ;-)), I image it'd be utmost useful to be able to name a cell and reuse
its name in a remote ref.
Thanks for any commentary on the above...
Thank you very much Carsten, Bastien and Co...
Seb
