AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the suitability of using the beamer document class in LaTeX for publishing university materials online. The consensus is that the choice of document class should align with the intended purpose of the publication. If there are specific requirements, such as submitting to arXiv.org or publishing an extended abstract, using the article class is recommended. However, if there are no strict guidelines, retaining the beamer format for lecture slides is acceptable, as many individuals share their slides online. Ultimately, the user decided to convert their presentation into an article format for publication.

Hello! (Wave)

I have written a text in LATEX for the univeristy and my prof wants to put it in the web.
I wrote it using [m]beamer[/m].
Do you think that it is a good type or should I use an other one? Should I write maybe for example an article or something else? (Thinking)

[m]beamer[/m] and [m]article[/m] are examples of document classes.

What class to use depends completely on what type of document you and your professor want to put online. If there is a specific requirement, for example, if you are uploading an article to arXiv.org or if you need to publish an extended abstract as an outcome of your grant research, then you should use [m]article[/m] or a similar class. If you have no requirements on what to publish, I would not spend time on changing what you have already prepared. If you have lecture slides done using [m]beamer[/m], that's fine. A lot of people post their slides online.
