Introducing Markdown Slides
Markdown is a lightweight markup language that allows you to format plain text documents. It is easy to learn and widely used for creating documents and web pages.
Now you can make presentations in markdown. This web application transforms the markup language into simple slide decks to draft, share, or present.
Read on to learn more or start making slides in the markdown editor :‑)
Creating New Slides
The H1 and H2 tags mark the beginning of new slides. Each heading is denoted by hashtags (#) to establish hierarchy in the document.
Type in the hashtags manually or use the formatting menu to create new headings.
If you make a mistake, there's an undo button too.
Basic Formatting
You can use basic formatting to make text bold, italic, or strikethrough.
You can create hyperlinks by enclosing the link text in square brackets and the URL in parentheses.
To create a blockquote, add a > in front of a paragraph.
No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.
