Markdown Syntax

pom-md converts standard Markdown into pom XML. This page describes the supported syntax and how each element maps to pom nodes.

Slide Separator

Use --- (horizontal rule) to separate slides. Each section between separators becomes a separate slide.


# Slide 1
 
Content for slide 1
 
---
 
# Slide 2
 
Content for slide 2

Specify slide size in the frontmatter block at the top of the file:


---
size: 16:9
---

Supported sizes:

Value	Resolution
`16:9`	1280×720 (default)
`4:3`	1024×768

If no frontmatter is provided, the default size is 16:9.

Markdown	pom Node
`# Heading`	`<Text fontSize="28" bold="true">`
`## Heading`	`<Text fontSize="24" bold="true">`
`### Heading`	`<Text fontSize="20" bold="true">`
Paragraph text	`<Text>`
`- List item`	`<Ul><Li>`
`1. Numbered item`	`<Ol><Li>`
`bold`	`<B>bold</B>` (inside Text/Li/TableCell)
`italic`	`<I>italic</I>` (inside Text/Li/TableCell)
`![](img.png)`	`<Image src="img.png">`
Table syntax	`<Table>`
```pomxml	XML passthrough

Headings are converted to bold <Text> nodes with different font sizes:


# Heading 1 → fontSize="28"
 
## Heading 2 → fontSize="24"
 
### Heading 3 → fontSize="20"

Both unordered and ordered lists are supported:


- Item A
- Item B
  - Nested item
 
1. First
2. Second

Bold and italic formatting is preserved inside text, list items, and table cells:


This is **bold** and _italic_ text.

Images are converted to <Image> nodes:


![alt text](path/to/image.png)

Markdown tables are converted to <Table> nodes:


| Name  | Value |
| ----- | ----- |
| Alpha | 100   |
| Beta  | 200   |
