Header/Columns/Footer Template

The Header/Columns/Footer template creates a structured multi-column slide partitioned cleanly by horizontal rules (---).

Partition Conventions

• Header Section: All content before the first --- is placed into the top header container.
• Column Sections: Content between --- partitions is automatically laid out as equal-width side-by-side columns (.slide-col).
• Footer Section: If more than two --- breaks are provided, the final partition is placed into a bottom <footer class="slide-footer"> bar.

(Tip: Literal horizontal lines within a column can be written using asterisks *** to avoid triggering a column partition).

# Architectural Comparison

---

### Monolithic Approach
* Tightly coupled dependencies
* Heavy build requirements
* Large runtime footprint

---

### Functional Approach
* Zero external runtime dependencies
* Modular composability
* Sub-millisecond initialization
