Structure

Use standard markdown-like headings to structure your slides:

• = Section (Level 1): Creates a dedicated Section Title Slide.
• == Slide Title (Level 2): Creates a new Main Slide.
• == (Empty Level 2): Creates a new slide without a title (excluded from ToC).
• === Subsection (Level 3): Creates a new slide with a title, but excluded from the Table of Contents.

= Introduction

== Motivation
This is the first slide of the introduction.

== 
This slide has no title.

=== Detail View
This slide has a title, but won't appear in the outline.

Content Blocks

The template provides colored blocks for highlighting specific content:

• #definition[content] (Gray)
• #warning[content] (Red)
• #remark[content] (Orange)
• #hint[content] (Green)

Example:

#definition[
  *Euclid's Algorithm*
