rendering many different output formats. It has a few more advanced
features than RMarkdown.

### How do you make columns using Revealjs in Quarto Presentations?

Quarto docs show example code for making columns with the presentation
`format: revealjs`
[HERE](https://quarto.org/docs/presentations/revealjs/#multiple-columns)

> with class `.column` and a `width` attribute:

    :::: {.columns}

    ::: {.column width="40%"}

    Left column

    :::

    ::: {.column width="60%"}

    Right column

### How would you change the appearance of slides using Revealjs in Quarto Presentations?

There seem to be many ways to customize slides using `format: revealjs`.
You can customize slides by making the background an image or a video.

Themes are probably the easiest uniform way to change slide appearance.
There are 10 built-in themes, or you can create your own. To add a
theme, call it out in the YAML front matter.
