The `slides` module makes a video that is also a deck. A `Slide` is a layout (a title page,
a section divider, bullets, an image, two columns, cards, figures, bars, a timeline, a
formula, code, a quotation or your own drawing)
whose parts come in one after another and that then holds. A `Deck` plays slides as the
scenes of a video, with a transition between them. The same video renders with the fframes
command line; a presenter can use the slides' reveal times and notes. No cargo feature is
needed for slides or decks.

The prelude brings the module, `Deck` and `SlideLayout`. Write a slide as `slides::Slide`:
the prelude's `Slide` is the transition.

Start with [Slides](https://fframes-kit.pages.dev/docs/slides/slides.md) for layouts, build timing and presenter stops, dress them with
[backdrops, footers and themes](https://fframes-kit.pages.dev/docs/slides/backdrops-footers-and-themes.md), then see [Decks](https://fframes-kit.pages.dev/docs/slides/decks.md)
for combining slides into a video and editing text in Studio. For a head start, choose a
[starter template](https://fframes-kit.pages.dev/docs/slides/starter-templates.md); [A complete deck](https://fframes-kit.pages.dev/docs/slides/a-complete-deck.md) puts it all
together.

- [Slides](https://fframes-kit.pages.dev/docs/slides/slides.md): slides::Slide::new(key, layout) makes a slide with the layout's own build-in, a hold of 1 second and no notes.
- [Backdrops, footers and themes](https://fframes-kit.pages.dev/docs/slides/backdrops-footers-and-themes.md): A slide's backdrop is drawn behind its layout, in the theme's colours.
- [Starter templates](https://fframes-kit.pages.dev/docs/slides/starter-templates.md): slides::templates provides editable example decks for common presentations.
- [Decks](https://fframes-kit.pages.dev/docs/slides/decks.md): Deck::new(theme, slides) makes one fframes Scene per slide, named by the slide's key, so frame agenda@end on the command line finds it.
- [A complete deck](https://fframes-kit.pages.dev/docs/slides/a-complete-deck.md): A whole video: the pitch template, renamed and extended with a slide of your own, in the sunset theme over a glow, with a footer and a slide transition…
