TenLing / Markdown to slides

Turn Markdown
into slides.

TenLing turns H1 and H2 headings into slides. Keep the notes and the presentation in the same plain Markdown file.

Try a three-heading document

Download the sample Markdown file, then open it in TenLing. It contains a title, a short update and a math section. You can read or edit the file in any text editor.

# A small project update

One Markdown file for the notes and the presentation.

## What changed

- The first draft is ready.
- The next step is review.

## A quick calculation

For a circle with radius $r$:

$$
A = \pi r^2
$$

Present and check the result

  1. Open the sample in TenLing and save any edits.
  2. Press ⌘⇧P on Mac, or Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows and Linux.
  3. Move through the slides with the arrow keys or Space. Check that the title and both section headings appear.
  4. Press Esc to return to the document. Edit a heading and present again to check the change.

Include LaTeX math

The sample uses $r$ for inline math and a pair of $$ delimiters for a display equation. Check that the circle-area formula appears in both the editor and the presentation. TenLing renders math with KaTeX; it is not a complete LaTeX document editor.

Keep each section readable

Use a short heading and a few points per section. H1 and H2 start slides; H3 and deeper headings stay in the body. The presentation takes up to ten body lines from each section, so split long sections with another H2. Preview the deck before presenting; a long document does not automatically make a readable slide deck.

The source stays a .md file. This walkthrough is for presenting in TenLing, not exporting a PowerPoint file.
