Testing:
(1) With a one-level document
#+begin_src org
,#+title: Beamer test
,#+STARTUP: beamer
,#+LATEX_CLASS: beamer
,#+OPTIONS: H:1
,* Frame 1
Content
,* Frame 2
Content
#+end_src
Expected result: An outine listing the two frames.
Result: Blank outline slide.
(2) With a two-level document (other headers as above):
#+begin_src org
,#+OPTIONS: H:2
,* Section 1
,** Frame 1
Content
,* Section 2
,** Frame 2
Content
#+end_src
Expected result: A two-level Outline slide listing Sections and Frames.
Result: A one-level Outline slide with the Sections, but not the Frames.
Inspecting the .tex shows that a =\tableofcontents= command is inserted.
It does not have the =hideallsubsections= option, so that isn't the
problem. Sections get =\section= commands inserted. The problem is that
frames do not get =\subsection=, and therefore are not picked up by the
Outline slide. Nor will the line
: #+TOC: headlines [currentsection]
insert them.
I'm fairly happy with this result, really.
But what if I /want/ the full outline?
(3) With a two-level document, same as above, but with H:3:
Result: A two-level outline with both Sections and Frames listed.
Problem solved? No, because (as one might expect) this messes up the use
of third-level headings for Beamer blocks and columns, which become
separate frames.
Something does seem wrong here.
Yours,
Christian
