Text MUST be in `<p>`, `<h1>`-`<h6>`, or `<ul>`.2. **Visuals**: You MUST rasterize gradients/icons as PNGs using Sharp FIRST. **Reference**: `references/html2pptx.md`.3. **Execution**: Run `html2pptx.js` to generate the presentation.</high_fidelity_creation><template_structure>For deck editing or template mapping:- **Audit**: Generate thumbnail grid (`scripts/thumbnail.py`) to analyze layout.- **Duplication**: Use `scripts/rearrange.py` to duplicate and reorder slides.- **Text Injection**: Use `scripts/replace.py` with the JSON inventory to populate content.</template_structure><design_quality>- **Fonts**: You MUST use web-safe fonts ONLY (Arial, Helvetica, Georgia).- **Colors**: You MUST NOT use the `#` prefix in PptxGenJS hex codes (causes corruption).- **Layout**: You SHOULD prefer two-column or full-slide layouts. You MUST NOT stack charts below text.- **Verification**: You MUST generate a final thumbnail grid with `--cols 4` to inspect for text cutoff or overlap issues.</design_quality></powerpoint_professional_suite></instructions>
