beamerarticle and includeonlylecture

Question

I am using for my lecture a one-content solution with two main files of documentclasses beamer/scrbook+beamerarticle. Now I want to make use of the command \includeonlylecture but it seems to not work. Here a minimal example:

\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage{beamerarticle}
\includeonlylecture{v2}
\begin{document}
\lecture{V1}{v1}
\begin{frame}
    \frametitle{Heading V1}
\end{frame}


\lecture{V2}{v2}
\begin{frame}
    \frametitle{Heading V2}
\end{frame}


\end{document}

The output still is

If you can save your lectures as separate files, you can use \includeonly in article mode. — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Sep 24 '22 at 18:50
I am not 100% sure but wasn't there an issue with \include and the\mode-commands? That is why I use \input instead... — Arne, Sep 24 '22 at 18:52
Not a general issue, just with certain modes which ignore non frame text. Personally, I would not use them, but warp these bits in \mode<article>{...} — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Sep 24 '22 at 19:22
.... as you also place your non frame contents in mdframes, you could create an environment which acts like a comment in beamer mode and like an mdframe in article mode. This would avoid all these problems with modes, chain linked environments, includeonlys etc. — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Sep 24 '22 at 19:27
The idea with a new environment that acts differently depending on the mode is really nice. Yet, this would not fix that beamerarticle is ignoring includeonlylecture, correct? Well I can then of course switch completely to includeonlyon both levels... — Arne, Sep 25 '22 at 11:44
You can use \includeonly in article mode and \includeonlylecture in beamer mode — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Sep 25 '22 at 11:50
But then I have to modify always two lines accordingly what I want to be included. — Arne, Sep 25 '22 at 11:57
you can use a macro which will act like either of both depending on the mode — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Sep 25 '22 at 11:58
Which would also require renaming either the lectures or the files but yes. — Arne, Sep 25 '22 at 13:27

You can use \includeonly if your are in article mode:

%\documentclass{beamer}
\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage{beamerarticle}
\begin{filecontents}[overwrite]{v1.tex}
\lecture{V1}{v1}
    \begin{frame}
        \frametitle{Heading V1}
    \end{frame}
\end{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}[overwrite]{v2.tex}
\lecture{V2}{v2}
    \begin{frame}
        \frametitle{Heading V2}
    \end{frame}
\end{filecontents}
\mode<article>{\newcommand{\arnelikestoplaywithmodes}[1]{\includeonly{#1}}}
\mode<beamer>{\newcommand{\arnelikestoplaywithmodes}[1]{\includeonlylecture{#1}}}
\arnelikestoplaywithmodes{v2}
\begin{document}
\include{v1}
\include{v2}
\end{document}

Nice macro name ;) – Arne Sep 25 '22 at 19:16

@Arne I thought as you are using scrbook, you'd be used to such names: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/418912/36296 :) – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Sep 25 '22 at 19:28
Was not aware of this. Hilarious. Thanks for mentioning :) – Arne Sep 26 '22 at 08:14
