MARKDOWN FORMATTING


For a complete list of supported markups, refer the sample presentation (sample.md)
provided alongside mdp, or online available at https://github.com/visit1985/mdp.

Slides
The input FILE is split into multiple slides by horizontal rules. Each consisting of at
least 3 --- or *** characters on a single line. This line must be prefixed by an
completely empty line. It can also contain spaces but no other characters.

If any slide is too large to fit into your current screen, an error message will be
displayed at the moment the presentation is launched.

Line-by-Line Mode
Block-by-Block Mode
A single <br>, <BR> or ^ on an otherwise empty line signals mdp to stop output of the
current slide (stop point) and wait for a key-press by the user.

This enables the user to display bullet points or list items one by one (line by line) or
block by block.

Headers
mdp supports header lines in the format of @[DESCRIPTION] [VALUE] The first two header
lines are displayed as title and author in top and bottom bar.

Headers are only recognized at the top of the input FILE.

Line spanning markup
Supported are headlines, code blocks, quotes and unordered lists.

In-line markup
As well as bold text, underlined text and in-line code.

COLOR SUPPORT


Most terminals are able to display 256 colors these days. But some of them enable only 16
colors by default. To enjoy mdp's full capabilities, these terminals need to be signaled
to enable 256 color mode. This is usually done by setting the TERM environment variable.

export TERM=xterm-256color
