Example of org-code and the output
There is automatically a front-page
The informations comes from the previous blocks.
And a outline page
This will come from the content of the other frames below.
Frame 1
* Some group of frames ** frame11 *** some stuff *** to tell *** in list elements
Frame 2
** frame12 *** what do you know! *** nice or what?
A frame about clojure in another group
* Awsomeness! ** Clojure *** code clojure \#+BEGIN_SRC clj (fact (+ 1 1) => 2) \#+END_SRC *** /Midje/, unit testing fwk is pretty awesome!
As we can see here, we can embedded some block of code from any language as org-mode usually permits.
About emacs
** Emacs *** It's pretty cool too!
Org
** Org-mode with beamer *** rocks as we can present :BMCOL: :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_col: 0.5 :END: *** in columns *** and as always :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_col: 0.5 :END: [[./clj-pink.png]] *** include images
Wait! What’s with the syntax?
It’s a binding that does that for us. Selection the item that you want in columns then C-c C-b |, this will ask you for the size of the column (ratio between 0 and 1). Give, for example, 0.4 then hit enter. Do the same all the other columns.
Launch the export
C-c C-e will launch a buffer with the options for exporting in the format you want!
| C-c C-e d | compile in latex, then export to pdf and open it. |
And that’s it
