     @kaia reminds me of the rust-magic @noboilerplate uses to turn markdown into presentations for videos. No Idea how to work it though.

     You can use pandoc https://pandoc.org

     My advice is to use the higher level Quarto pub system
     https://quarto.org

     Quarto has plugins for IDEs, e.g. VSCode and R-Studio

     @kaia@brotka.st is pandoc doing this maybe? Or the cli tools oft libreoffice? Or maybe a two step thingy with both tools?

     @p @kaia There's a project or library called "Marp" that defines Markdown syntax for making slides and an #Obsidian plugin called Marp slides that implements it. It can export as PDF and PPTX.

     It works alright for quick presos for small audiences. Personally, my dreams of easy, tet-based slide creation always get shattered by the corporate template requirements and/or the need to make simple-looking diagrams to dumb it down for the audience (which are actually pain-staking and time-consuming to create).
