</div>

Would it work to do this? This uses `-----` rules that you would see, when writing slides for slideshows

```
---
class: slideTitle 

# Presentation Title

---
class: slideInspirationalQuote

> Lorem Ipsum - The Quote

---
class: slideList 

# List
1. thing1
2. thing2

---  

```

This ties into my proposal for metadata attributes

The metadata is placed in attribute of the div tag for that section. As seen in the example [Metadata in documents](http://talk.commonmark.org/t/metadata-in-documents/721/15?u=mofosyne) .
