<p>Thanks for writing in!</p>
<p>The changes you refer to here are technically changes to MMD v6, not<br>
Composer v4 (yes, Composer v4 uses MMD v6, but they're two different<br>
things -- mainly that is important to help properly direct google<br>
searches... ;)</p>
<p>MMD 6 uses a different configuration for LaTeX. It does require<br>
updating your documents (and LaTeX support files), but once you make the<br>
changes it will be much easier moving forward.</p>
<p>The MMD 6 Quick Start Guide describes this:</p>
<p><a href="https://rawgit.com/fletcher/MultiMarkdown-6/master/QuickStart/QuickStart.html#latexchanges">https://rawgit.com/fletcher/MultiMarkdown-6/master/QuickStart/Quick...</a></p>
<p>In your case, you would want to use the <code>latex leader</code>, <code>latex begin</code>,<br>
and <code>latex footer</code> metadata keys instead of the old <code>latex input</code> key,<br>
as I have not created a specific beamer set-up for the <code>latex config</code><br>
option. I'll add this to my to do list.</p>
<p>You can still use the <code>latex mode</code> metadata to switch between "regular"<br>
LaTeX, beamer, and memoir syntax, just like MMD 5 and earlier.</p>

Thanks so much for this helpful and ultra-speedy reply! Sorry for my mis-statements. I see now I can at least get out beamer slides (e.g. slides encapulated with \begin{frame} and \end{frame}) using 'latex mode: beamer'. But there will be no '\begin{document}', etc.</p>
<p>I am hopeful there will be some example</p>
<pre>
<code>mmd6-beamer-leader.tex
mmd6-beamer-begin.tex
mmd6-beamer-footer.tex</code>
</pre>
<p>files to work from some day. Or should I try and cook these up myself?</p>
<p>Thanks again, and happy new year!<br>

metadata key names as described below. <code>latex input</code> doesn't work any more.</p>
<p>(yes, eventually there will be mmd6-beamer-leader/begin/footer -- but those will just be renamed versions of the existing files, possibly with<br>
a few small tweaks).</p>

workflow!<br>
Thanks again!<br>

<pre>
<code>https://github.com/fletcher/MultiMarkdown-6/tree/develop/texmf/tex/latex/mmd6/beamer</code>
</pre>
<p>That folder includes renamed beamer files (with a few tweaks) that fit the same structure as the other MMD-6 latex support files. With these, it becomes possible to use the <code>latex config</code> single metadata key to specify which LaTeX templates are used.</p>
