Syntax¶

SliDesk uses Markdown to define slides.

Headings and slide breaks¶

# defines a level-1 title. ## defines a level-2 title and starts a new slide.

## First Slide

# My Talk Title

Content of the first slide.

## Second Slide

Content of the second slide.

The first # heading does not start a new slide — it is the global talk title.

Text formatting¶

**bold text**
*italic text*
~~strikethrough~~
`inline code`

Lists¶

- Unordered item
- Another item

1. Ordered item
2. Another ordered item

Links¶

Raw URLs are automatically converted to clickable links.

[Custom link text](https://example.com)

Code blocks¶

```js
const greeting = "Hello SliDesk!";
console.log(greeting);
```

Blockquotes¶

> This is a quote
> Spanning multiple lines

Horizontal rules¶

HTML¶

Raw HTML is fully supported:

<video autoplay loop src="demo.mp4"></video>
<canvas id="chart"></canvas>

Slide classes¶

Add classes with .[classname] after the heading:

## My Slide .[cover dark]

Renders as <section class="sd-slide cover dark">.

Templates¶

Apply a template with .[#template-name]:

## My Slide .[#split left right]
