Add LaTeX template for slides

[jmshapir]

@ew487 can we:

• [ ] add a LaTeX file with a very basic beamer shell (from a public source) for slides to /source/talk in which we:
  • [ ] enable the option \setbeameroption{hide notes} by default
  • [ ] add an example in-frame speaker note to one of the slide frames
• [ ] add to the LaTeX builder a handout option similar to the one we have for LyX
  • under the hood, all this should need to do is switch hide notes to show notes

Thanks!

@jmshapir Do you happen to remember how you resolved the issue from here? I'm running into the same problem!

[jmshapir]

@ew487 I think (?) I was able to resolve that by first compiling locally using a GUI and then via scons. (It might also have just been out of date packages.)

If that's not working for you you can feel free to comment out the EPS call and flag it for me to look at when everything else is set up here.

Thanks!

@jmshapir Thanks for letting me know! Unfortunately I was still not able to get it to work, but it does work on my other computer so I will just use that instead.

In the last commit I added most of the functionality you asked for. I was wondering, what do you think about using \todo rather than \note? That way the notes will show up on the same page as the slides, like they do for the lyx documents, rather than on their own page.

@ew487 thanks! Can you show me how \todo vs. \note look in the compiled PDF for an example?

[ew487]

@jmshapir Yep! Here is the version with todo, and here is the version with note.

@ew487 thanks!

Let's go with \note.

Once everything is set up feel free to open a pull with @jmshapir as reviewer and I can take a first pass.

Summary

Link to issue branch Merged to master here

In this issue, we added a LaTeX file with a basic beamer shell for slides to [/source/talk] in which we enable the option \setbeameroption{hide notes} by default. We added to the LaTeX builder a handout option similar to the one we have for LyX under the hood, which switches hide notes to show notes. We also added unit testing for this option.
