Columns

To lay out your content in columns, use the [.column] command to start a new column.

[.column]

# First column

[.column]

# Second column.

Column widths are automatically generated using the available space divided evenly by the number of columns specified.

To create uneven columns, add a relative width to the column command:

[.column: width(3)]

Main content

[.column: width(1)]

Key takeaway

Column widths are distributed proportionally, so width(3) and width(1) create a 3/4 and 1/4 split. Columns without an explicit width default to width(1).

You can add as many columns as you like, but the more you add, the smaller the available width will be.

Combine columns with Auto-Scaling to automatically scale down the text size so it fits on the slide.
