Markdown to Powerpoint Converter
Note: md2pptx only supports Python 3. So the installation instructions are for that.
Usage:
python3 md2pptx output.pptx < input.markdown
or
md2pptx output.pptx < input.markdown
Before you can use this you need to:
pip3 install python-pptx
as this code relies on that Python 3 library.
(On a Raspberry Pi you might want to use pip3 (or python3 -m pip) to install for Python 3.)
You will probably need to issue the following command from the directory where you install it:
chmod +x md2pptx
I would also suggest you start with a presentation that references Martin Template.pptx in the metadata (before the first blank line).
Here is a very simple deck that does exactly that.
template: Martin Template.pptx
# This Is A Presentation Title Page
## This Is A Presentation Section Page
### This Is A Bulleted List Page
* One
* One A
* One B
* Two
Here are some slide notes. Note you leave an empty line between the content - in this case a bulleted list - and the notes.
You can do multiple paragraphs and even use symbols.
