## Quarto

Quarto enables you to weave together content and executable code into a finished presentation. To learn more about Quarto presentations see <https://quarto.org/docs/presentations/>.

## Bullets

When you click the **Render** button a document will be generated that includes:

-   Content authored with markdown
-   Output from executable code

## Code

When you click the **Render** button a presentation will be generated that includes both content and the output of embedded code. You can embed code like this:

```{r}
1 + 1
```

Evolent_Quarto_Template.pptx

Nothing from template is included in output and no error message is generated.

Attached is a second template that generates an output without any error messages, but the file is corrupted when you open it, and the layout is wrong (although the template is right)

BrokenTemplate.pptx

It would be helpful if it was documented somewhere what features in PowerPoint are respected from the templates in Quarto.
