Columns and cards

Columns

The classes cols-2 to cols-6 create equal-width columns. The number indicates the groups per row, not necessarily the total number of groups: extra groups wrap to the next row, within the limits of the available space.

# Two approaches

> ## Local
>
> The model runs on the machine.
>
> - Control over the hardware
> - Offline access

<!-- -->

> ## Remote
>
> The model runs on a server.
>
> - Access through an API
> - Shared resources

Groups

A column is not defined by a heading, but by an explicit group:

• each > block forms a group (an HTML blockquote);
• empty > lines separate paragraphs inside the group;
• the empty comment <!-- --> separates two consecutive groups and prevents them from merging into a single quote.

A ## alone does not create a column

A ## heading outside a > block does not group the paragraphs that follow it. In columns, keep the elements directly under the slide for the title, the groups and the caption; place explanatory text inside the groups.

With cols-3 and six groups, you get two rows of three:

The cards option

cards adds a background, a border, rounded corners and 20 pixels of inner padding. The colors come from the slide's palette.

• It applies to content groups, gallery images and timeline steps.
• In an image/text composition, it styles the text block.
• It does not create groups and does not affect arbitrary paragraphs.

Without cards, the same groups stay aligned in columns, without styling:

# Without cards

> ## Simple
>
> Just the text.

<!-- -->

> ## Readable
>
> Aligned columns.

> ## Understated
>
> No frame.
