Re: [O] Org-Mode 8.07 LaTeX Beamer export does not parse headings to frames during export

[Tom Slee]

I have struggled with this myself. The answer is that the following line will give what you want:

#+OPTIONS: H:2

I'm not sure why the BEAMER_FRAME_LEVEL instruction doesn't handle that, but the OPTIONS seems needed.

Hi,

I am trying to move my beamer export settings to the new exporter, but I cannot even get a minimal example from the documentation to work properly. Specifically, Org-Mode headings do not get parsed to frames during export to LaTeX Beamer.

I added the minimal beamer export setup from http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/beamer/ox-beamer.html to my .emacs:

(require 'ox-latex)

(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes

             '("beamer"

               "\\documentclass\[presentation\]\{beamer\}"

               ("\\section\{%s\}" . "\\section*\{%s\}")

               ("\\subsection\{%s\}" . "\\subsection*\{%s\}")

               ("\\subsubsection\{%s\}" . "\\subsubsection*\{%s\}")))

Using the minimal example from the documentation http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html

     #+LaTeX_CLASS: beamer

     #+TITLE: Example Presentation

     #+AUTHOR: Carsten Dominik

     #+LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [presentation]

     #+BEAMER_FRAME_LEVEL: 2

     #+BEAMER_HEADER_EXTRA: \usetheme{Madrid}\usecolortheme{default}

     #+COLUMNS: %35ITEM %10BEAMER_env(Env) %10BEAMER_envargs(Args) %4BEAMER_col(Col) %8BEAMER_extra(Ex)

the headings do not parse to beamer frames. This is the LaTeX output I get:
