Marp is a Markdown presentation ecosystem for writing slide decks in plain Markdown, comprising the Marpit framework, Marp Core converter, Marp CLI, and a VS Code extension. It converts Markdown into presentation-ready HTML, PDF, and PowerPoint files with themes, directives, and extended syntax.

Use cases

• create slide decks from markdown
• convert markdown to pptx or pdf presentations
• preview markdown slides in vscode
• build presentation slides without powerpoint
• theme and style markdown-based slides
• generate html slide decks from plain text

When to choose

• you want to author presentations in Markdown with version control
• you need to export slides to HTML, PDF, or PPTX from the command line
• you prefer a code-first workflow over GUI slide editors

When to avoid

• you need rich drag-and-drop visual editing or animations
• your deck depends on complex multimedia layouts that Markdown cannot express
