Markdown Slide Guide
Everything you need to know to create great presentations with Markdown.
Slide Separation
Separate slides using three dashes on their own line:
```
# Slide 1
Content here
---
# Slide 2
More content
```
Headings
Use `#` for titles, `##` for subtitles, `###` for section headers:
```
# Main Title
## Subtitle
### Section Header
```
Text Formatting
- **Bold**: `**bold text**`
- *Italic*: `*italic text*`
- `Code`: `\`inline code\``
- [Links]: `[text](url)`
Lists
Unordered:
```
- Item one
- Item two
- Item three
```
Ordered:
```
1. First
2. Second
3. Third
```
Code Blocks
Use triple backticks with an optional language:
```
\`\`\`javascript
const x = 42;
console.log(x);
\`\`\`
```
Blockquotes
Use `>` for quotes:
```
> "The best way to predict the future
> is to create it."
```
Tips for Great Slides
1. **One idea per slide** — don't overcrowd
2. **Use headings** — they scale well in presentations
3. **Keep lists short** — 3-5 items max per slide
4. **Code blocks** — great for tech talks, keep them under 10 lines
5. **Choose the right theme** — match your audience and topic
