Hi,
As part of our LIBD rstats club, we recently attended (virtually) Nathan Stephen's webinar on using R Markdown for creating PowerPoint presentations (on 2018-11-28) (should appear here soon, raw files). We were able to play around with using templates and could do most of the things Nathan showcased. We however ran into an issue where we couldn't get the title of a slide to show up in the same slide as a two column slide. Here's our Rmd file https://gist.github.com/lcolladotor/2bb1878ae11b1cd5ff554c0e10125aa0 that uses the template from https://github.com/sol-eng/powerpoint/blob/master/vignettes/template.potx and as far as we can see, we are following the same mark up as in https://github.com/sol-eng/powerpoint/blob/master/vignettes/2c-columns-and-notes.Rmd that does render the title in the same slide as you can see at https://github.com/sol-eng/powerpoint/blob/master/vignettes/2c-columns-and-notes.pptx.
### Two column
:::::::::::::: {.columns}
::: {.column}
hello
:::
::: {.column}
bye
:::
::::::::::::::
We get the same result even if we don't use the template file.
Thanks,
Leo
