+# Questions
+
+
+## Should packages implement the interface to one specific format, or attempt to be conclusive to all the potential output targets?
+
+
+## How to share "recipes"? Will this become a "large" project, or minimal that requires you to write most customizations yourself?
+
+
+## Could you make slides that show the source form on the left and the output on the right? That would make understanding each capability much simpler.
+
+
+## Does typing in a block mess up the syntax highlighting? Usually themes use a single color inside an example block, for example.
+
+
+### "You found my crutch!". Colors in source code blocks within blocks are hard. Didn't have time yet to implement it. Any help is appreciated! :)
+
+- That's where you can get help from org-mode core developers ;)
+
+
+## +++if you export to latex->pdf does that work well with beamer as well? To create slides with columns for example?
+
+
+### You have to format the LaTeX appropriately for the backend "beamer".
+
+
+## How does this relate to pandoc, which is used for converting between markup formats?
+
+
+## Side question about org-reveal: How do you get bespoke/multiple-column layouts without using #+HTML (and <div>) everywhere in the org file?
+
+
+### It's a custom #begin\_parallel block! See the main article linked below.
+
+
+### Parallel section: <https://alhassy.github.io/org-special-block-extras/#Parallel>
+
+
+## What is used to produce colorful boxes around the cursor in your browser?
+
+
+### Commercial software called ScreenBrush
+
+
+## Why did you put optional arguments in a separate list rather than using cl-style argument lists? e.g. (defblock feedback (who &optional (color "red")) &#x2026;) +1
+
+
+### The first argument may take some meta-information when you define it, which is easier to handle with two arguments.
+
+
+## Do you intend to try to upstream this amazing work into Org? :)+1
+
+
+### no prior experience on how to upstream; suggestions and help appreciated

+
+- Yes, I would suggest simply posting a short proposal for an org-defblock macro on the orgmode mailing list, and hopefully Bastien and other maintainers like Nicolas will discuss it with you. I think they would be excited to have this feature standardized in Org. +1+1+1+1 I am excited+1+1
+
+
+### add a little beginner-focused documentation and this becomes another great reason to use org over markdown, I imagine the maintainers would love to have it
