Dear all,
For some years now I have been using Slides.com for both preparing my slide 
presentations as well as for hosting them.  Now I'm thinking about 
preparing my presentations using markdown + pandoc + revealjs, and then 
uploading them to Slides.com.

I've found it very easy to make presentations using pandoc, but I want to 
do two more things: (1) imitate the styles I currently use on Slides.com; 
(2) insert some existing slides into the presentation created by pandoc.

## Creating Template from Existing Reveal.js HTML file ##
I have downloaded an HTML file from Slides.com, which I can use offline.  
That file, unfortunately, uses external URLs to pull in media like: (1) 
font; (2) images.

I want to develop a template based on that file that uses the correct:
1. Font type
2. Heading and text styles (colour, size, right-left-centre alignment as 
well as top-bottom alignment)
3. Background image

I'd also like to know how pandoc does in-page placement.  For instance, if 
there's some text I want to appear in a small font size near the bottom of 
the slide, is that possible?

## Inserting Existing Slides into Presentation ##
I have some slides (such as the "contact me" slide at the end) in which 
I've carefully positioned SVG images (i.e., the mailbox symbol in front of 
e-mail address, the Twitter bird symbol in front of Twitter handle).  I 
don't know how one could do such careful positioning in the markdown file.  
(If someone knows if this can be done, I'd love to learn.)  Given that, it 
would be great if I could just insert the existing slide at the end of the 
presentation.  Is this possible?

This is an example of what I would want the presentation to roughly look 
like:

I'm happy to share an HTML version of that if that helps.

Regards,
Pranesh
