Beamer slides are created in MyST by separating them out into blocks, denoted by the +++ markup with optional metadata in JSON.
+++ { "outline": true }
# Introduction
## Background

### My Background Slide Title
This is some background on beamer templates, use a combination:
- of `myst-to-tex` for conversion; and
- `jtex` for templating.For simple presentations, all you need to know is the +++ to separate your slides. Beamer also allows you to create headers that are outside of the slide content, which help structure a talk outline. If you also want content that is outside of your slide frames, use the block metadata and put { "outline": true } to indicate that that block should be treated as the outline. If outline is set to true, the entire contents of the block will not be included in a slide, you should only include heading information in these slides.
Additionally, if the first content encountered in a block is a header (of any depth), the header will be used as the frametitle, which is often displayed differently in a presentation. The MyST markdown above will turn into:
\section{Introduction}
\subsection{Background}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{My Background Slide Title}
This is some background on beamer templates, use a combination:
\begin{enumerate}
\item of \texttt{myst-to-tex} for conversion; and
\item \texttt{jtex} for templating.
