Create Separate Tex/PDF Files for Animated and Handout Version

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Would simplify the generation of both versions. I do have examples how we have done this for exercises and their solutions before.

There are several ways to do this:

  1. We could use an external build script (i have several variants for larger and smaller projects)
  2. We could rely on \jobname (e.g, if the jobname starts with animated or handout)
  3. We could rely on macro definitions and simply set those (e.g. by writing to tex-files, the main animated one, and another handout version with roughly the following content:
    \PassOptionsToClass{handout}{beamer}
    \input{<animated.tex>}

We are using external build scripts for most lectures now.
