How to create a custom title slide for revealjs?

[marcpaterno]

I am trying to produce a custom title slide to match my institution's PowerPoint format. The title slide has a banner with a logo at the very top, a full-width image right below that, and the printed title, author, meeting name, and date in the space below the image. This text should be left-aligned.

I have been able to place the image on the slide with the following YAML:

format:
  revealjs:
    slide-number: true
    footer: "Short title | Marc Paterno"
    css: mfp.css
    title-slide-attributes: 
      data-background-image: "fall.png"
      data-background-position: top
      data-background-size: contain

I have not been able to figure out the correct YAML or CSS entries to place the text where I want it. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

I have attached (below) an example of the intended format.

I would write a format extension (https://quarto.org/docs/extensions/formats.html) for starter.
If you have a repository with what you already have, I might be able to help, meanwhile your can take inspiration from other presentation template formats: https://github.com/mcanouil/awesome-quarto#presentations.

Thanks for the pointers. This is just what I was looking for.
