Frames can be repeated fully or only in terms of selected sub-slides, multiple

\begin_layout Frame
You just need to give the respective frame a label name via the frame option

(as done here).
\end_layout
\begin_deeper

Then you can repeat this frame by means of the
\begin_inset Flex Structure

Just enter the label name in the

\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
\begin_inset Flex Structure
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Frame (plain)
\end_layout
\end_inset
is a frame without a sidebar/header (such as this one).
This is useful for slides with much content\SpecialChar \slash{}
wide tables
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
\begin_inset Flex Structure
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Frame (fragile)
\end_layout
\end_inset
is to be used if the frame consists of
\begin_inset Quotes eld

fragile
\begin_inset Quotes erd

content, especially verbatim stuff such as program listings
\end_layout
\end_deeper
\begin_layout PlainFrame
If you want a fragile plain frame, pass the option

\begin_inset Quotes erd

to a fragile frame or the option
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

Note, however, that parts behave differently in

\begin_layout Definition
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Action
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
is a more general concept, which does not only include what we have called
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
overlays
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
(
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
on which sub-slide[s] is this to be shown\SpecialChar \slash{}
hidden\SpecialChar \slash{}
highlighted
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
), but also tasks such as
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
only show this in the presentation, not on the handout
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
or
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
show this on the second screen only
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
(so-called
\begin_inset Quotes eld

modes
\begin_inset Quotes erd

An example
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Frame
Take for example a quote.
In a
\begin_inset Flex Structure
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Quote
\end_layout
\end_inset
environment, you can specify the overlay settings via
\begin_inset Flex Alert
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator

\end_layout
\end_inset
.
If you do this and enter
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, the quote will only appear on (sub-)slide 2:

Covering vs.

\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Frame
The difference between
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
covering
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
hiding
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
is that hidden content is treated as if it isn't there, while covered content
is just covered (and the space is reserved).
If we would have hidden the quote on the last slide and not covered, it
would only have taken space on appearance:
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Quote
\begin_inset Argument 1
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout

Use these Emphasize and Bold insets (instead of the usual respective font

Due to the way emphasized and bold is defined in

\end_inset
terms, a
\begin_inset Quotes eld

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
is a specific output route.
There are several modes for different purposes.
We just want to highlight three:

\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate

\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
beamer
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

article
\begin_inset Quotes erd

\begin_layout Frame
The beamer mode is the default.
Unless explicitly specified otherwise, your

However, you can switch document parts, frames, headings and all

-aware environments to a different mode.
For instance, we have switched this frame to

It means that this frame will only be visible in the presentation, not in

This is actually pretty useful! You can set up a single document and produce
both a presentation and -- using the article mode -- a handout.

nowadays (but if you insist, you can produce one of those as well)
