Handout Switch

[dwoiwode]

Adds a switch to compile slides as handout (without animation slides) or as presentation (with animation slides).

With the current implementation there are two possibilitites to use this switch:

1. Requires the changes proposed in latex_main/main.tex

   • Compile as handout:
     pdflatex "\def\ishandout{} \input{my_slide}

   • Compile as presentation:
     pdflatex my_slide

2. Also works with proposed change in latex_main/main.tex, but works also by just removing the handout-Option from documentclass in Line 3.

   • Compile as handout:
     pdflatex "\PassOptionsToClass{handout}{beamer} \input{my_slide}

   • Compile as presentation:
     pdflatex my_slide

It is further possible to pass a --handout flag to the slides.py-Script (which internally uses the 2nd option for compilation).

With this implementation, existing files are just overridden. Is there a need to add e.g. "_handout.pdf" to the output of slides.py?
