[O] Customizing LaTeX-export, Beamer, \institute, and BEAMER_envargs

[Bernd Weiss]

Dear all,

I am preparing a Beamer presentation and I am having some trouble with 
side effects (?) due to my attempt to customize the LaTeX-export. My 
minimum example can be found below.

The default LaTeX-export does not recognise the '\institute'-option (I 
mean, as far as I know). For that reason, I run "(add-to-list 
'org-export-latex-classes ...)". Unfortunately, the export-function does 
no longer recognice ":BEAMER_envargs: [plain]" (or ":BEAMER_envargs: 
[shrink=5]")[1].

Thanks,

Bernd

* Introduction
** A simple slide
:PROPERTIES:
:BEAMER_env: frame
:BEAMER_envargs: [plain]
:END:
   This slide consists of some text with a number of bullet points:

- the first, very @important@, point!
- the previous point shows the use of the special markup which
  translates to the Beamer specific /alert/ command for highlighting
  text.


The above list could be numbered or any other type of list and may
include sub-lists.
