non-frame text in beamer export

non-frame text in beamer export

[Neil Hepburn]

Greetings

I have recently started using org-mode to generate Beamer presentations for lecture notes. I always create lecture note printouts for my students using the beamerarticle package. I like to put additional explanatory material into these notes that don't show up on the slide show. The way I do this is to put the extra material outside of a frame environment and then use the option [ignorenonframetext] in the latex header, i.e.,
\documentclass[ignorenonframetext]{beamer}

Is there a way to add extra material in an org file that it won't get put into a frame environment when I export the file?

Cheers,
Neil

I never tried the beamer package.  But there is a workaround.  There are
the export options based on tags:

  #+EXPORT_SELECT_TAGS: export
  #+EXPORT_EXCLUDE_TAGS: noexport


You could just use the second one and toggle as needed:


 --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--
#+EXPORT_EXCLUDE_TAGS: ignore

* This will be exported

**  This here not          :ignore:
    This section is not exported because of the ignore tag.
 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--



To create the print version, comment out the exclude tags line:


 --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--
#  #+EXPORT_EXCLUDE_TAGS: ignore

* This will be exported

**  This here not          :ignore:
    This section _is_ exported in spite of the ignore tag.
 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--
 


Does that work?
