Convert Markdown to Slides — Best Tools for Developers

Developers and technical writers love Markdown for its simplicity. But when it's time to present, you need slides. This guide covers the best ways to convert .md files into professional presentations — with support for code blocks, Mermaid diagrams, tables, and math equations.

Why Use Markdown for Presentations?

Version control — Track changes with Git
Plain text — Write slides in any text editor
Portable — Works across all platforms
Code-friendly — Native syntax highlighting
Fast — Focus on content, not design

Markdown Slide Syntax

Basic Slide Structure

# Slide 1 Title

Content for the first slide.

---

# Slide 2 Title

- Bullet point 1
- Bullet point 2
- Bullet point 3

---

## Code Example

\`\`\`python
def hello():
    print("Hello, World!")
\`\`\`

Tips:

Use --- (horizontal rule) to separate slides
# creates slide titles, ## creates subtitles
Bullet lists become presentation bullet points
Code fences with language hints get syntax highlighting

Advanced Features

Mermaid Diagrams

\`\`\`mermaid
