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.
