PastelDeck is a CLI that helps you transform a markdown file into a simple html-based slideshow. Perfect for when you want to focus on content with a pretty looking outcome.

Check out docs at https://pasteldeck.netlify.app/

With yarn:

$ yarn global add pasteldeck 

With npm:

$ npm install -g pasteldeck 

You can also use it without installing it first by running:

$ npx pasteldeck 

• inquirer
• inquirer-fuzzy-path
• open
• showdown
• commitizen
• cz-conventional-changelog

Create your presentation in a markdown file. Make sure to follow the supported format for PastelDeck.

Inside your terminal, navigate to the folder containing your markdown file and run:

$ pasteldeck 

After this the CLI will walk you through selecting the markdown file to convert into the slideshow, you will be able to select a theme colour and decide if they want to use watch mode or not.

Currently PastelDeck supports the following themes:

• Pink
• Salmon
• Purple
• Yellow
• Green
• Blue

To create a slide, add a horizontal rule in markdown. Anything after the horizontal rule is part of the slide.

---slide--- # This is part of slide 1 and this title will go in the index! This is also part of slide 1! ---slide--- ## This is part of slide 2 and this title will go in the index! ## This title will not be part of the index This is also part of slide 2! 

Pasteldeck will automatically create a semi-hidden index for easy navigation by mouse (if you need it) by using the first heading of every slide.

PastelDeck supports normal markdown syntax that is also supported in ShowDown. Check the documentation here.
