Description
Writing this down for anyone hacking on the problem.
Use of a line-prefix with a display-property using specified space and the center can, with a bit of elbow grease on the width of text, apply an overlay to center arbitrary contents. Read the Elisp manual entry on text properties and specified space.
It's a bit hairy to write the expressions just from reading the docs. The dashboard package has both image and text examples to look at using (text-properties-at (point))
I am not sure if actions or headings or headers are most valuable to center first. Maybe we want to center the slide contents separately from the header.
A "title" slide using such centering is my most likely first application of the idea. It's possible to turn the header off, narrow the heading for a slide, center all the contents, and that is a "title" slide.
That's all hacky, but dslide is built to readily accommodate hacking anywhere that features are not baked in 🤠
