Autoflow rule: diagonal

Priority 30 · Two short paragraphs (one ending in ?) get pulled across the slide.

When it fires

• The slide has exactly 2 paragraphs
• Each paragraph is short (≤10 words, ≤3 lines)
• At least one paragraph ends with ?

What it does

• First paragraph gets #[top-left]
• Second paragraph gets #[bottom-right]
• Reads as a question pulling diagonally to its answer

Anti-monotony

Every other diagonal slide mirrors the corners (top-right + bottom-left) so two consecutive diagonals don’t read identically. This is what the rule’s vary function does, using the count of consecutive prior diagonals.
