  <div class="slidev-layout my-layout">
    <slot />
  </div>
</template>

<style scoped>
.my-layout {
  padding: 2rem;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  gap: 1rem;
}
</style>

Layout with Named Slots

<!-- layouts/split-header.vue -->
<template>
  <div class="slidev-layout split-header">
    <header class="header">
      <slot name="header" />
    </header>
    <main class="content">
      <div class="left">
        <slot name="left" />
      </div>
      <div class="right">
        <slot name="right" />
      </div>
    </main>
  </div>
</template>

<style scoped>
.split-header {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-rows: auto 1fr;
  height: 100%;

  logo: {
    type: String,
    default: '/logo.png'
  },
  color: {
    type: String,
    default: '#3b82f6'
  }
})
</script>

<template>
  <div class="slidev-layout branded">
    <img :src="logo" class="logo" />
    <div class="content" :style="{ borderColor: color }">
      <slot />
    </div>
  </div>
</template>

Usage:

---
layout: branded
logo: /company-logo.png
color: '#ef4444'
---

# Branded Content

Theme Layouts

Themes often provide additional layouts. For example, the seriph theme includes variations like:

  • default with refined typography
  • cover with elegant styling
  • Custom layouts specific to the theme

Check theme documentation for available layouts.

Best Practices

  1. Match Layout to Content: Use center for emphasis, two-cols for comparisons
  2. Consistent Section Markers: Use section layout consistently
  3. Image Quality: Use high-resolution images for cover and image layouts
  4. Test Responsiveness: Check how layouts appear at different sizes
  5. Don't Overcrowd: Layouts work best with focused content
