Formatting
Creating a slide
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!
Automatic indexing
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.
Supported markdown
PastelDeck supports normal markdown syntax that is also supported in ShowDown. Check the documentation here.
