Hi John, This is an interesting bug. When I use the stable version of org i.e. 8.2.1 everything works as expected.
To use xelatex I included the following in my .emacs file (some code I picked up several years ago (setq org-latex-pdf-process (list "xelatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f" "xelatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f" )) ;; for multiple passes With regards to the split beamer theme this is included in beamer. I am using texlive 2013 on the mac. thanks M On Oct 6, 2013, at 9:23 PM, John Hendy <jw.he...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Sun, Oct 6, 2013 at 7:45 PM, Marvin Doyley <marvin...@gmail.com> wrote: >> For more clarification >> Here is a simple test file > > [snip] > > I can't current reproduce.
