MkSlides – Markdown to slides with a similar workflow to MkDocs
As a teacher, we keep our slides as markdown files in git repos and want to build these automatically so they can be viewed online (or offline if needed). To achieve this, I have created MkSlides. This tool converts all markdown in a folder to slides generated with Reveal.js. The workflow is very similar to MkDocs. Install: `pip install mkslides` Building slides: `mkslides build` Live preview during editing: `mkslides serve` Comparison with other tools like marp, slidev, ...: - This tool is a single command and easy to integrate in CI/CD pipelines. - It only needs Python. - The workflow…
In plain words
MkSlides converts markdown files into Reveal.js slides using a workflow similar to MkDocs. Designed for educators and teams who store slides in git repositories, it builds presentations automatically for online or offline viewing. Installation requires only Python via pip. Key features include a single-command build process, live preview during editing, automatic index page generation for multiple slideshows, and easy CI/CD pipeline integration. The tool is lightweight and keeps all slide content as code.
