Re: [Orgmode] [org-beamer] inline slides?

[Darlan Cavalcante Moreira]

I can see the merit of your idea about writing the slides when writing the
thesis, but you could also create a "Presentation" headline at the and of the
org file and put commented anchor and links in the the thesis and in the
slides. This would allow you to easily jump from on to another.

Another option would be splitting the frame in two windows, one showing the
thesis and the other one showing the slides.
