`useSlideLayout` from root

[jhaase1]

I want to useSlideLayout from the root directory rather than the source presentation? I can hardcode the mapping; however, it would be more elegant to address root/Side Banner/Title Slide or root/No Side Banner/Title Only rather than 1 or 8

If this isn't possible I can work around it, just a nice to have

Did you try

pptx-automizer/src/classes/slide.ts

Line 117 in f4ec662

async useNamedSlideLayout(targetLayoutName: string): Promise<number> {

Please let me know if this already helps or if we should improve this more.

that's close. I was looking to be able to switch between templates. I'll work on generalizing my code and make a PR

I'm working on generalizing my code and am getting blocked by my lack of JS knowledge. There are probably a million ways that this is completely inefficient but it has some ideas

  if (layout) {
    const name = layout.getAttribute('name');
    return name;
  }

  const XML = await XmlHelper.getXmlFromArchive(
    archive,
