I would like to add that, in the documentation, the beamer export commands are documented but it miss an essential point: To have these commands in the Org export dispatcher, a user first need to enable "org-beamer-mode". Otherwise, the beamer export command do not appear in the export dispatcher. The first time I have used the beamer export, I have read its documentation section by section. And tried what I have read, gradually. At this moment, I did not understand why I did not have the export commands in the export dispatcher. I imagine that someone, who only read the parts of the manual that he or she need, will also have the same misunderstanding problem. I think that a short paragraph about the need to enable "org-beamer-mode" to access some action/features could be welcome in related section. Like, for example, in section "13.8.1 Beamer export commands". If I can help on something, do not hesitate to ask.
