Slide Types

Title Slide

A slide with only headers (no body text) gets centered typography from the base theme:

# Main Title

## Subtitle

### Author

Section Divider

Use background color commands for an inverted, more dramatic look. These colors are hardcoded per slide, so you must use the colors matching your chosen variant — otherwise the divider will look wrong:

Blue variant:

[.background-color: #0062A8]
[.header: #FDFAF3, Didot]
[.text: #FDFAF3, Baskerville]

# Section Title

Red variant:

[.background-color: #C0392B]
[.header: #FDFAF3, Didot]
[.text: #FDFAF3, Baskerville]

# Section Title

Noir variant:

[.background-color: #3A9ED6]
[.header: #1A1A1A, Didot]
[.text: #1A1A1A, Baskerville]
