 # revealjs (development version)
 
+- Fix template to add the necessary CSS to format [columns layout](https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#columns) and other Pandoc's features (thanks, @atusy, #82).
+
 - Fix an issue with some configurations keys for chalkboard plugin - multiple value are now correctly passed to Pandoc's template (thanks, @grayknight2, @atusy, #62, #88).
 
 - Fix issues with quoting of options when passed as variables to Pandoc. This was caused by a change in Pandoc 2.14.0.3 which now sets some default value for reveal.js options (thanks, @iain-palmer, #72).
