Question: How does one use Beamer's \only command with blocks? (Successfully, with org-mode's beamer export, I mean.)
I found in the manual that you can give an overlay specification using the BEAMER_ACT property... ok... but that's not the same as \only because, when a latex chunk is marked \only<1>, it takes *no space* on <2->. Using <1> and <2> causes the <2> to appear lower than the <1>. That's not what I want. Hacking it with #+latex: lines is even worse, as explained in the example below. I suppose there must be a way to do it, albeit undocumented. Or maybe it's simply not supported, in which case I would have to write the LaTeX directly. Annoying, but I'll do that if there's no alternative. hjh #+LANGUAGE: en #+OPTIONS: H:2 num:t toc:t \n:nil @:t ::t |:t ^:t -:t f:t *:t <:t ':t #+OPTIONS: TeX:t LaTeX:t skip:nil d:nil todo:t pri:nil tags:not-in-toc #+EXPORT_SELECT_TAGS: export #+EXPORT_EXCLUDE_TAGS: noexport #+startup: beamer #+LaTeX_CLASS: beamer #+LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [presentation] #+BEAMER_THEME: default #+COLUMNS: %45ITEM %10BEAMER_env(Env) %10BEAMER_act(Act) %4BEAMER_col(Col) %8BEAMER_opt(Opt) #+PROPERTY: BEAMER_col_ALL 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 0.0 :ETC * Section ** Frame (beamer_act, not quite right) *** The problem on this frame I want Block 1 and Block 2 to occupy the same space on successive slides. *** Block 1 :B_block: :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_env: block :BEAMER_ACT: <1> :END: *** Block 2 :B_block: :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_env: block :BEAMER_ACT: <2> :END: ** Frame (using #+latex and \only) *** This is a complete bloody hash.
