A single self-contained HTML deck — typography, palette, decorative system, and slide vocabulary are all tuned together. Mixing layouts across templates breaks the system; stay inside this one. ## At a glance - **Scheme:** light - **Formality:** medium-low - **Density:** medium - **Slides in demo:** 10 ## Best for Anything that should feel printed, lo-fi, and crafted: indie zines and publications, music / arts brands, creator portfolios, small-batch craft launches, community decks. Also a great underdog choice for tech, research, or business decks that want a riso-print warmth instead of digital polish. ## Avoid for Contexts that demand digital-native polish or fast modern-tech energy — the layered zine aesthetic intentionally feels handmade. ## Workflow 1. **Clone `example.html`** into the user's workspace as the working file. 2. **Replace placeholder content** with the user's real headlines, body copy, numbers, names, dates, and section labels. Match existing dimensions when swapping image placeholders. 3. **Preserve the design system.** Never substitute fonts, recolor the palette, restructure the layout grid, or strip decorative elements (corner brackets, paper grain, geometric shapes, illustrated SVGs). They are part of the identity. 4. **Adjust deck length by duplicating layouts.** If the user has more content than the demo holds, duplicate an existing slide of the most appropriate layout. If less, drop slides from the bottom. Update page-number labels. 5. **Designing missing layouts:** if a slide needs a layout the template doesn't have, design it from scratch using the same fonts, palette, decorative vocabulary, spacing rhythm, and component grammar — never bail to a different template. 6. **Keep the navigation runtime as shipped.** If the deck ships an `assets/deck-stage.js` or inline keyboard handler, leave it intact. ## Output contract Emit between `` tags: ``` ... ``` ## Source & license Vendored from upstream MIT-licensed [`zarazhangrui/beautiful-html-templates`](https://github.com/zarazhangrui/beautiful-html-templates/tree/main/templates/retro-zine).
