Marp
Marp is a presentation framework that transforms plain text files into slide decks using Markdown syntax. It functions as a converter and static site generator, enabling the creation of structured visual presentations that can be exported into formats including HTML, PDF, and PowerPoint.
The project distinguishes itself through a modular architecture that supports custom themes and plugins, allowing users to extend the core conversion pipeline. It provides a command-line interface for automated file processing and includes reactive file-system watching to facilitate a live preview development workflow, where visual updates occur in real-time as source files are modified.
Beyond core conversion, the framework offers component-based embedding to integrate slide rendering directly into web applications. It utilizes a headless browser engine to ensure high-fidelity visual output and relies on standard style sheets to define slide layouts and appearance.
