		dr_hooo on Jan 24, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Marp: Markdown Presentation Ecosystem Does anyone care to highlight the main differences between this and pandoc for creating slides in markdown?

TuringTest on Jan 24, 2023 [–]

For a start, this one has a VS Code plugin, so you can preview the resulting slides while writing them, without having to configure a build step.

It also seems to have a DSL giving you some control of the slides presentation, which in pandoc seems limited to applying CSS.
