I am guessing that the 16:9 format is useful only if you / one can also change the defaults for the PowerPoint font sizes. on PowerPoint macos, the default 16:9 font size for first-level bullet points seems to be Calibri 28pt. This means the default vanilla presentation has 8-9 lines of bullet points. on pandoc, the output default font-size for first-level bullet points is Calibri 32pt. - in 4:3, pandoc thus also has about 8-9 lines of bullet points; - in 169, the font remains the same 32pt, which now means only 6-7 lines of bullet points. 6-7 lines is too few IMHO. Ergo, 16:9 output should go with slightly smaller fonts.

You can change this by using a reference-doc.

pandoc --print-default-data-file reference.pptx > reference.pptx=20

Now open reference.pptx with Powerpoint.

Go to Page Setup and change the aspect ratio.

Save.

Now use

pandoc --reference-doc reference.pptx input.md -o output.pptx

Maybe we should change the default to 16:9. Comments welcome on
this.
