### Overview

The size and design of PowerPoint presentations are determined by the reference template. 
```

```

The default PowerPoint template contains a blank presentation in the standard (4:3) size. 


# Layouts

### Details

Any template included with a recent install of PowerPoint (either with `.pptx` or `.potx` extension) should work, as will most templates derived from these. The template should contain the following four layouts:

1. Title
2. Section Header
3. Title and Content
4. Two Content

### 1. Title 

* This layout has a placeholder for a title and a placeholder for a subtitle.
* This layout is used when you specify a title in the YAML header.

```

---
title: My presentation
---
```

### 2. Section Header

* This layout has a single placeholder for a section header
* Content will not render on this layout.
* This layout is used when you specify section headers above the slide level.

```

# Section Header

### 3. Title and Content

* This layout has a placeholder for a title and a single placeholder for content.
* This layout is used for content slides specified at the slide level.

```

```

### 4. Two Content

* This layout has a placeholder for a title and two placeholders for content.
