Re: Switch language on heading lines in Latex export (was Re: [Orgmode] Re: org-beamer: How to get items appear sequentially rather than all at once)
As I understand, whenever org sees something like \something it will
understand that this is a latex command and it will just write it as it is
in the exported latex file. Therefore, if you put something like
#+LATEX_HEADER: \newcommand{\blue}[1] {\textcolor{blue}{#1}}
in the beginning of the org file than latex will know the command blue
and writing \blue{some text} in the org presentation will work as
expected. I even tried defining latex commands with two arguments such as
the with the line below
#+LATEX_HEADER: \newcommand{\blueRed}[2]{\textcolor{blue}{#1}
\textcolor{red}{#2}}
and it works!
I don't know this newfontfamily command in latex, but if you can use a
command in latex then you can do the same in org.
Notice, however, that I used #+LATEX_HEADER:. That is, I created a macro
in Latex, not in org. Macros defined in org are created with #+MACRO:.

Darlan,
Thank you again. I think I understand the problem now.

define a LaTeX macro? Or is this just pure luck? Still mystified by

Re: Switch language on heading lines in Latex export (was Re: [Orgmode] Re: org-beamer: How to get items appear sequentially rather than all at once)
I think this behavior in org-mode is correct.
For instance, suppose we have the heading below
,
| * Some heading
| - \textbf{lalala}
| - {\textbf lelele}
| - \alert{lilili}
`
In the first item org will recognize this is a Latex command and the
brackets will be passed to Latex without any escaping. However, in the
second item there is nothing before the first bracket and org will
correctly escape the bracket. Therefore only the first letter in lelele
will be in bold. That is, org recognizes Latex syntax and not the old TeX
syntax in the second item. Any command recognized in Beamer will work as
the alert command in the third item.
Summarizing, define your macros as Latex macros instead of TeX ones and
they should work. That is, something like \J{XXX}.

Dear Darlan,
Thanks for your detailed explanation. I now got it working and am
really happy with it.
Now there is one remaining problem with my presentation (which is
different, which is why I changed the header line): I do have some
words on some heading line that are in a different language and need
to be set in a different font. To achieve that, I have customized the
beamer section in org-export-latex-classes to set up a new font etc,
this can now be switched on with {\J XX } to put XX into the desired
Japanese Font. However, when I do this, I get the {} brackets
escaped so they appear in the output (I do get the right font). So I
wonder how I can pass this literal LaTeX through in the export.
I looked at the manual, where it talks about literal LaTeX, but the
use cases there seem to work only on lines by themselves, not in the
middle of a header line. But since this is org-mode, I am sure there
must be a (obvious) solution which I am just failing to see
As always, any help appreciated
Christian
