So now you don't need an extra outline structure for making a *columns* environment, but you still need it for ending the last *column* and starting a new one. I've though I could go without the latter, too. That would be good for documents you export as presentation but also as article handout. > The "tutorial" I wrote on worg is out of date and bad, maybe we should > remove it?

I think every property is explained in the info docs, and Eric's tutorial shows some nice and well explained examples, so the org-beamer.org file could be deleted. > If it adds something, maybe we can move that information? It adds confusion, so we should move that to the texinfo docs!?! ;-) Bye, Tassilo
