This element specifies an instance of a slide layout. The slide layout contains in essence a template slide design that can be applied to any existing slide. When applied to an existing slide all corresponding content should be mapped to the new slide layout.

Attributes	Description
matchingName (Matching Name)	Specifies a name to be used in place of the name attribute within the cSld element. This is used for layout matching in response to layout changes and template applications. The possible values for this attribute are defined by the XML Schema string datatype.
preserve (Preserve Slide Layout)	Specifies whether the corresponding slide layout will be deleted when all the slides that follow that layout are deleted. If this attribute is not specified then a value of false should be assumed by the generating application. This would mean that the slide would in fact be deleted if no slides within the presentation were related to it. The possible values for this attribute are defined by the XML Schema boolean datatype.
showMasterPhAnim (Show Master Placeholder Animations)	Specifies whether or not to display animations on placeholders from the master slide. The possible values for this attribute are defined by the XML Schema boolean datatype.
showMasterSp (Show Master Shapes)	Specifies if shapes on the master slide should be shown on slides or not. The possible values for this attribute are defined by the XML Schema boolean datatype.
type (Slide Layout Type)	Specifies the slide layout type that is used by this slide. The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_SlideLayoutType simple type (§4.8.19).
userDrawn (Is User Drawn)	Specifies if the corresponding object has been drawn by the user and should thus not be deleted. This allows for the flagging of slides that contain user drawn data. The possible values for this attribute are defined by the XML Schema boolean datatype.
