pptx format ignoring comparison layout

[yonisidi]

I have a slide that looks like this

## My Header

::: columns
::: {.column}
- @fig-myfig shows something amazing. 
- bullet 2
- bullet 3
:::
::: {.column}
```{r fig-myfig}
#| fig-cap: 'my caption'
knitr::include_graphics('my-figure.png')
```
:::

when i render the slides the layout that is chosen by quarto/pandoc is Two Content instead of Comparison. According to the docs it should be the latter.

Do I need to do something else in the script to get it to use the Comparison layout?

Documentation:

Two Content - This layout is used for two-column slides, i.e. slides containing a div with class columns which contains at least two divs with class column.
Comparison - This layout is used instead of “Two Content” for any two-column slides in which at least one column contains text followed by non-text (e.g. an image or a table).

_quarto.yml

project:
  type: default
format: pptx

Your example does not follow the documentation for the "comparison" layout.
You have a text column and an image column.

The column needs to have "text followed by non-text".

Ah ok.

That makes sense.

Thank you for the clarification, I didn't understand from the documentation that the text has to be in the same column as the figure.
