Text and bullets¶

Write the sentence, the bullets, and the formatting of a slide.

Five of five seeds cross the wall.

- Run 3 starts at **0.50 m**
- Run 4 starts at *0.60 m*

The first paragraph is the sentence, and the list below it holds two bullets.

Write the sentence¶

A paragraph is the sentence of the slide, which is its one-line message. If you write two paragraphs, the slide gets two sentences.

Add bullets¶

A - list makes bullets. A numbered list also makes bullets, but mkdeck drops the numbers. A definition list makes bullets in the form term: definition:

Cap
: The torque limit in N m

Each bullet holds text only, so a nested list is an error.

Format text¶

A sentence, a bullet, a figure label, and a table cell take inline Markdown, so you can write bold text, italic text, code, and links. Math and number marking work in the same places.

Add a heading¶

A # heading appears above the rest of the slide, and a heading alone makes a title slide. A slide holds one heading.

Add raw HTML¶

Raw HTML in text passes through as you wrote it. mkdeck copies an element with its closing tag, and the text inside it, without change:

Run 3 <b>stalls</b> at the wall.

A block of raw HTML on its own line appears after the other content of the slide. Use it for a layout that the slide model does not cover.

Add a code block¶

A fenced code block appears as code after the other content of the slide. mkdeck does not add color to the code.
