Earlier quoted context omitted.

Clarification: reveal.js supports markdown for individual slides. This project (Marp) allows you to write your whole presentation in a single markdown document. (Using just "---" to separate slides instead of repeating: slide markdown goes here ...seems like a productivity win IMO)

You can just use Pandoc to output reveal.js HTML for you. pandoc hello.md -t revealjs -o hello.html

Oh that's very cool. What's the slide separator?

For someone who is on windows, this is a godsend. The Mac guys all have Deckset[0] which is amazing. Was searching for something like this to make quick slides. Thanks much :) [0]: http://www.decksetapp.com/

Wow, Deckset looks awesome. I've never looked for something like this, but thanks for mentioning.

I recently discovered Deckset and I must say I was very happy with it (for markdown editing + PDF export, with code highlighting).

While marp looks great, reveal.js[1] includes markdown support and has a huge ecosystem. [1]: https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js

Reveal also supports this on external markdown files: https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/#external-markdown

I have used deckset for all of my presentations[1]. It's fantastic, and forces you to follow Zach Holman's rules[2] about slide typography, which is basically "you can't go too big."

It could be even simpler. A presentation tool by the suckless folks with minimal dependencies but several features: http://tools.suckless.org/sent/

If rampant NIH syndrome is your thing, that might be great. But if rampant NIH syndrome is your thing, you'll write your own anyway, so...

I like pinpoint[0] which is the same vein. Here is a presentation [1].

This might help:

Looks like either top level headings (equivalent to sections I guess) or a line like this "----------" would work.
