Quarterly Business Review (PowerPoint template)

This one is not an HTML page at all. The template is a real PowerPoint file, written in PowerPoint with {{ }} placeholders left in it — so the people who own the document keep owning it. There is nothing to photograph here because nothing on this server lays a document out: generate it and open the file itself.

The source

The template itself is a PowerPoint file, so it is read by opening it rather than by scrolling it here. What is below is what travels beside it: the web parts — ordinary HTML pages, each photographed into the document at the size of the picture whose alt text names it — and the stylesheets they are dressed in. Every marker a document understands is one page.

    One region's three months, drawn on a canvas with no library.

    It is rendered once per copy of the repeated slide, and each copy is bound with its own region —

/*
  The project's house style: what every report in it looks like before it looks like itself.

  It is in shared-assets rather than in a report because it is the project's, not one report's —
  the palette, the type, the sheet, the running header, and the handful of parts (card, chip, pill,
  meter, table) that every report here is assembled from. A report's own stylesheet composes these
  into its layout; it does not redecide what a card is.

  A template references it as assets/css/house.css, exactly as it references its own files. The
  shared folder is searched behind the report's own, so the path means the same thing in every
  report — and a report that needs its own version keeps a file at that path and wins.

What it carries

Stylesheets, scripts, images and fonts travel inside the report, so nothing is resolved from the outside while it renders. Anything under shared-assets/ belongs to the project rather than to this report — held once for every report in it, and reached from the template at the same assets/… path as the report's own.
