Slide Helpers

Use ordinary slide, headings, and native Typst content for most slides. Special helpers change geometry or counting when needed.

HelperPurpose
title-slideOpening with fitted metadata and branding.
outline-slide, new-section-slideOverview and automatic agenda transition.
section-slideSimple counted divider.
focus-slideOne central message; freezes the slide counter.
image-slideFull-page image, optional caption and credit.
bibliography-slideReferences.
ending-slideClosing body, contacts, and optional marks.
backup-slide, appendixInterlude with frozen counter, or a separately numbered appendix.

Compose Ordinary Content

Two positional bodies create columns:

#slide(title: [Two Perspectives])[
  The baseline and its limitation.
][
  The result and supporting evidence.
]

Use grid, figure, table, and blocks for more control. slide(header: none, footer: none) hides ordinary decorations. focus-slide(fill: ..., text-fill: ...)[...] chooses a custom emphasis surface.

Further Examples

The optional publication list and experimental Sankey diagram are source recipes, not Ambrosia APIs. Adapt them independently if useful.
