Slideshow app with HTML Template
Live example:
The basic slideshow app does not require you to write any HTML to display your content, but limits you to a specific layout, containing a background image, text, and/or a link.
If you wish to add more information in your slides or change how it is presented, you will need to write your own HTML template.

Here's an example with a top left corner logo, a centered profile picture, and a star rating to display reviews on a product.
- Create an empty column in your datasheet (using an appropriate header-title like "Template").
- Specify the "SlideContent" keyword in the second row in this column.
- Create a new sheet with the name you want. This name must be the same as in your "Templates range" (in our example, we used “Template”).
- Insert a new column in your template tab with the same header-title used for your SlideContent column (in the example above, we used "Template").
- Create your HTML template with the relevant markers and add CSS or Javascript templates.
