Exporting beamer with org-mode

Question

How do I generate a beamer presentation from an org-mode file? What beamer features can I use in my file?

Answer 1

Beamer export is very similiar to LaTeX export in Org-Mode, all you need to do is hitting M-x org-beamer-export-to-pdf or C-c C-e l p from the Org buffer you're working on.

The majority of options are taken from the LaTeX export except for BEAMER_THEME and BEAMER_COLOR_THEME.

Other than that there are a few Beamer-specific commands one can use to have Beamer-only code and to control its overlays, see the manual for further details.
