Re: [Orgmode] Beamer support in Org-mode

[Daniel Martins]

\pnote could be an option

Another idea is to reserve the lowest level to notes

* section
** subsection
*** frame
etc


************** notes

(I don't know how many *'s are needed)

maybe we can set a number / variable

like

org-beamer-frame-level

we could create

org-beamer-notes-level
