Overview

“Description box” is a feature that allows you to include description (heading & paragraph) into each slide. You can configure overall visual appearance styling each text box with common text properties (font size, margin, leading, spacing, etc), and set link & linking target for each slide description box.

The position of heading text field is always 0,0 inside the description box, width is the same as the width of the description box. Paragraph text field is positioned relatively below the heading, whereby y position depends on the height of the heading text field. By altering “margin” attribute, you can achieve custom positioning for both paragraph and heading text fields.

The plain text only is currently allowed (without HTML tags).

Actual text is embedded in the <slide> node. For more information check Slides
