.SS PowerPoint layout choice
.PP
When creating slides, the pptx writer chooses from a number of
pre-defined layouts, based on the content of the slide:
.TP
Title Slide
This layout is used for the initial slide, which is generated and filled
from the metadata fields \f[C]date\f[R], \f[C]author\f[R], and
\f[C]title\f[R], if they are present.
.TP
Section Header
This layout is used for what pandoc calls \[lq]title slides\[rq], i.e.
slides which start with a header which is above the slide level in the
hierarchy.
.TP
Two Content
This layout is used for two-column slides, i.e.\ slides containing a div
with class \f[C]columns\f[R] which contains at least two divs with class
\f[C]column\f[R].
.TP
Comparison
This layout is used instead of \[lq]Two Content\[rq] for any two-column
slides in which at least one column contains text followed by non-text
(e.g.\ an image or a table).
.TP
Content with Caption
This layout is used for any non-two-column slides which contain text
followed by non-text (e.g.\ an image or a table).
.TP
Blank
This layout is used for any slides which only contain blank content,
e.g.\ a slide containing only speaker notes, or a slide containing only
a non-breaking space.
.TP
Title and Content
This layout is used for all slides which do not match the criteria for
another layout.
.PP
These layouts are chosen from the default pptx reference doc included
with pandoc, unless an alternative reference doc is specified using

command-line variable.
(There are no other options in beamer and the rest of this section

With beamer and reveal.js, the configuration option
\f[C]background-image\f[R] can be used either in the YAML metadata block
or as a command-line variable to get the same image on every slide.
.PP
For reveal.js, you can instead use the reveal.js-native option
\f[C]parallaxBackgroundImage\f[R].
You can also set \f[C]parallaxBackgroundHorizontal\f[R] and
\f[C]parallaxBackgroundVertical\f[R] the same way and must also set
\f[C]parallaxBackgroundSize\f[R] to have your values take effect.
For pptx, you can use a reference doc in which background images have
been set on the relevant layouts.
.SS \f[C]parallaxBackgroundImage\f[R] (reveal.js)
.PP
To set an image for a particular reveal.js slide, add
\f[C]{data-background-image=\[dq]/path/to/image\[dq]}\f[R] to the first
slide-level heading on the slide (which may even be empty).
For reveal.js, there is also the reveal.js-native option
\f[C]parallaxBackgroundImage\f[R], which can be used instead of
\f[C]background-image\f[R] to produce a parallax scrolling background.
You must also set \f[C]parallaxBackgroundSize\f[R], and can optionally
set \f[C]parallaxBackgroundHorizontal\f[R] and
\f[C]parallaxBackgroundVertical\f[R] to configure the scrolling
behaviour.
See the reveal.js documentation for more details about the meaning of
these options.
.PP
In reveal.js\[cq]s overview mode, the parallaxBackgroundImage will show
up only on the first slide.
.SS On individual slides (reveal.js, pptx)
.PP
Other reveal.js background settings also work on individual slides,
including \f[C]data-background-size\f[R],
\f[C]data-background-repeat\f[R], \f[C]data-background-color\f[R],
\f[C]data-transition\f[R], and \f[C]data-transition-speed\f[R].
To set an image for a particular reveal.js or pptx slide, add
\f[C]{background-image=\[dq]/path/to/image\[dq]}\f[R] to the first
slide-level heading on the slide (which may even be empty).
.PP
To add a background image to the automatically generated title slide,
use the \f[C]title-slide-attributes\f[R] variable in the YAML metadata
block.
As the HTML writers pass unknown attributes through, other reveal.js
background settings also work on individual slides, including
\f[C]background-size\f[R], \f[C]background-repeat\f[R],
\f[C]background-color\f[R], \f[C]transition\f[R], and
\f[C]transition-speed\f[R].
(The \f[C]data-\f[R] prefix will automatically be added.)
.PP
Note: \f[C]data-background-image\f[R] is also supported in pptx for
consistency with reveal.js \[en] if \f[C]background-image\f[R] isn\[cq]t
found, \f[C]data-background-image\f[R] will be checked.
.SS On the title slide (reveal.js, pptx)
.PP
To add a background image to the automatically generated title slide for
reveal.js, use the \f[C]title-slide-attributes\f[R] variable in the YAML
metadata block.
It must contain a map of attribute names and values.
(Note that the \f[C]data-\f[R] prefix is required here, as it isn\[cq]t
added automatically.)
.PP
See the reveal.js documentation for more details.

For example in reveal.js:
For pptx, pass a reference doc with the background image set on the
