Description

Support for beamer frame overlay overlay specifications would be useful:

<0> and the mode specifiers described in Sections 8.4 and 21.3 of the Beamer User's Guide to prevent frames from being displayed in the various modes (e.g., beamer, article, handout) and in multiple modes with the syntax <article:0|handout:0>.

Edited to reflect changes in pandoc 2.5 and beamer 3.55, and again for pandoc 2.17.1.1 and beamer 3.66,

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the pandoc LaTeX writer code to understand how frame environments are generated, then implement support for overlay specifications like <0> and mode specifiers (e.g., <article:0|handout:0>) following the Beamer User's Guide sections 8.4 and 21.3.
