I've been having a problem exporting to beamer. I've now found the problem and
fixed it, but it was (to my mind) something pretty obscure, and I think it
might be of interest to the list, at least as a salutary tale.
When I opened an org file such as the example beamer presentation from the
manual (section 12.6.6) and executed C-c C-e d, it kept generating a .tex file
with an article document class, instead of the expected beamer class.
After a few days of frustrated searching through the manual and tutorials, and
this list, for any clues, I found some advice to run something like
/usr/bin/emacs -Q -l test.el
with a series of versions of test.el progressively approximating my .emacs
file. I was expecting the problem to lie in one of my org- or latex-specific
settings, but eventually found the cause of the problem to be that the variable
case-fold-search
was being set to nil (its default value) as one of my custom-set-variables. I
don't remember why. Anyway, according to the information from C-h v, this makes
the setting buffer-local, and for some reason that fouled up the beamer export.
When I commented out that line, everything worked as advertised.
I'd be interested to hear from anyone who could shed light on why that might be.
Cheers,
Tony
