Hello, I’ve put together a litte online editor / service for the Slide Show (S9) machinery that lets you convert plain text with markdown formatting into slide shows using your template pack of choice (e.g. S6 Blank, deck.js, etc.). The service runs on Heroku e.g. tryslideshow. About the formatting: Heading 1s get converted to “title” or “section” slides. Heading 2s get converted to “regular” slides and use horizontal lines (e.g. ---) for “hard” slide breaks. Example:
