Re: [O] Org mode 8.2.5h and emacs-24.3.1: exporting org-beamer presentation doesn't break presentation in slides

[Suhas Pai]

Hi Josiah,

Thanks for your reply.

Upon closer examination, I found that there are two commands to export to PDF.

C-c C-e l small-o   (converts to "regular" pdf)

C-c C-e l capital-O  (converts to "presentation" pdf, i.e., converts all headings to slides)

I tested "C-c C-e l O" successfully for a simple text but I'm getting the following error for the attached file in my last email.

org-latex-compile: PDF file ./presentation.pdf wasn't produced: Runaway argument

I was trying the example (What is Beamer? etc.) from the following link: Record of Motion

		Record of Motion Now then, with the reasoning for why you'd use Org-mode out of the way I can move onto how to actually use the damn thing! If you're already comfortable with Emacs, it is very, very simple.

Not sure how to debug this. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Suhas

When I export in 8.2.7b I get the attached file, which seems like what
you want.  I don't have any LaTeX/Beamer customizations in my .emacs.

Not sure what's going on here.

Sorry I can't be more helpful,
