Re: Exporting a presentation to both slides and handouts?

[Torsten Wagner <torsten.wagner@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I think most flexible would be to use tags
create tags like "handout" and "presentation"

Tag all blocks accordingly (handout, presentation or both)
Set the export tag to handout or resp. to presentation.
Since blocks in slides are represented by third level org headlines
one could easily remove blocks for either handouts or presentation.
Other blocks could be tagged "lecture-notes" giving guidance to the presenter

I did not try this but it should work
