Markdown slides

Understand when to use CorTeX slide decks and what the renderer provides.

Markdown slide decks turn a structured research outline into fixed-canvas slides. An H1 starts the title slide, and each H2 starts a new logical slide.

Focus on content#

Write headings, lists, tables, images, code, math, and Mermaid diagrams. CorTeX selects readable layouts. When content cannot fit safely, CorTeX reports the overflow or continues the content according to the selected layout.

Built-in themes control the visual system. A custom POTX theme is a project file referenced by a project-relative path in the frontmatter, and it requires the project owner's paid-plan entitlement. Without that entitlement, the deck falls back to paper, and custom-theme export is blocked.

Present or export#

Storyboard helps reorder slides and exclude drafts. Presentation mode, PDF, self-contained HTML, and PPTX share the same deck source. Follow Create and export slides for the complete workflow and export limits.
