Description

It's fairly common for data scientists to produce reports which end up in Google Slides and it would be great if there were a pattern which let them use quarto to generate these slides. I know that people have asked for this in the Rmarkdown world and it was tricky to implement, but I was wondering if it would be possible to implement it in quarto.

The only project that I'm aware of that kind of helps is this md2googleslides project.

Research direction

The issue names md2googleslides as a reference but does not identify Quarto files, tests, or entry points. Start by comparing that project's approach with Quarto's existing output formats; done would mean a defined implementation that generates Google Slides from a Quarto document with corresponding test coverage.
