Description

Hi,

How could I create a powerpoint with more than 2 columns. I tried the below. But it did not print the third column.

---
title: "Test"
author: "AP"
format: pptx
---
# Slide Title

:::: {.columns}

::: {.column width="40%"}
### Vertical Object (Left)
Some text or image.
:::

::: {.column width="30%"}

#### Vertical Object (Middle)
  Some text or image.
:::
::: {.column width="30%"}
#### Vertical Object (Right)
Some text or image.
:::

::::

It doesnot needs to be as 3 vertical columns, I would be okay with 1 horizontal and 2 small vertical as well. Also, column division inside a column also doesnot work. How to sort this out?

My quarto version is 1.6.42

You can only do the layout slides thar Pandoc knows about: https://quarto.org/docs/presentations/powerpoint.html#slide-layouts

Or you need to write raw OpenXML.
