Explanation

In the metadata block, specific set of classes can be defined to decorate div elements by blocks

The metadata block add information using the pandoc-beamer-block entry by a list of definitions:

pandoc-beamer-block:
  - classes: [info]
  - classes: [alert]
    type: alert
    title: Danger

The metadata block above is used to add a block environment around divs which have info class and a alertblock environment to divs that have only a alert class.

Each entry of pandoc-beamer-block is a YAML dictionary containing:

classes: the set of classes of the divs to which the transformation will be applied. This parameter is mandatory.
type: the block type (either alert, example, info, theorem, proof, corollary, definition, lemma and fact)
title: an optional default title to use
