## Creating PowerPoint slides

To generate a presentation from a `.qmd` file, add `format: pptx` to the YAML front-matter.

Quarto will use the 
[pandoc PowerPoint rules](https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#powerpoint-layout-choice) 
to render the content from the `.qmd` into `.pptx`.

The "pandoc rules" limit the flexibility to create PowerPoint presentations. 
Quarto has better presentation support for `revealjs` and `beamer`.
