I am curious to see if others have had the following issue with Beamer class in LYX, and how they solved it.
In Beamer article mode, I would like to keep the content in slide frames together and "separate" it from the rest, perhaps with a framed box. The one driver for this request is that now if the slide is a just a figure with a frametitle, the image float will sometimes go to another page and the frametitle sits by itself in the article without any context as to why that sentence fragment is there. Even if the image float is nearby, it still looks a little odd. At the very least, I would like some solution to force frametitles to stay with the figure float (or less elegantly, remove frametitles if there is no text) and still have LYX float the image in a nice way in the article mode. One method might be to insert it in a Box environment with borders (essentially replacing frames with a minipage/box). As I expected, wrapping a minipage around the frame throws errors. Another might be to insert a snapshot picture of the slides in some automatic manner. Either would work, probably for me. I have read the description in "official" Beamer Guide for these issues, but I am not sure I understood it well enough to do it in LaTex, let alone do it do it efficiently in LYX. Also my searches did not come up with anything else. I would be able to use a partial solution now, but also note that this is part of a quite long-term project (a textbook, lecture notes, and lecture slides with common outline, figures, and major points.). I am using several branches for some issues, but also wish to minimize copying and revising two entirely different sets of common items in separate branches or files. Thus, if there is not now an good solution or the current hack is ugly, I would be interested in hearing about a better solution that could work in the next six months or so. (i.e. either someone comes on this a few months from now or there is a planned feature in development). A solution that would work easily in Windows would be best, but could use an external linux/posix scripts, if required. Thanks for any advice or prior experience on how to do this!
