marp

The tool provides a command‑line interface that processes Markdown files written for the Marp/Marpit slide framework and generates static presentation assets. It can output HTML with embedded CSS, PDF documents, PowerPoint (PPTX) files, and image renders, supporting one‑shot conversion via npx or installed binaries. Users may also run the CLI in watch mode to rebuild on changes or start a local server to serve a directory of slides.

It targets developers, technical writers, and anyone who creates slide decks in Markdown and needs automated export to common presentation formats. The CLI works on systems with Node.js v18+ and requires a Chromium‑based browser (Chrome, Edge, or Firefox) for PDF, PPTX, and image generation. Docker images are available for environments where installing Node.js and a browser locally is undesirable.

Distribution is supported through npm, Homebrew, Scoop, and standalone binaries for major operating systems, allowing flexible installation and integration into existing workflows.
