Markdown to Powerpoint Converter

Note: md2pptx only supports Python 3. So the installation instructions are for that.

Usage:

python3 md2pptx output.pptx < input.markdown

or

md2pptx output.pptx < input.markdown

Before you can use this you need to:

pip3 install python-pptx

as this code relies on that Python 3 library.

(On a Raspberry Pi you might want to use pip3 (or python3 -m pip) to install for Python 3.)

You will probably need to issue the following command from the directory where you install it:

chmod +x md2pptx

I would also suggest you start with a presentation that references Martin Template.pptx in the metadata (before the first blank line).
Here is a very simple deck that does exactly that.

template: Martin Template.pptx

# This Is A Presentation Title Page

## This Is A Presentation Section Page

### This Is A Bulleted List Page

* One
    * One A
    * One B
* Two

Here are some slide notes. Note you leave an empty line between the content - in this case a bulleted list - and the notes.

You can do multiple paragraphs and even use symbols.
