define('IMAGE_URL', '/img');
define('SECTION_BACKGROUND' , 'background.png');
define('OPENING_BACKGROUND', 'title.png');

	 1 => ['title' => 'Setup and Configuration', 'end' => 47],
	 2 => ['title' => 'Question and Answer', 'end' => 99],

• Be sure to also copy "/ppt/slides/_rels/* into PATH_TO_XML
