Supported Formats

pom-vscode supports two file formats for defining presentations.

.pom.md — Markdown

Write slides in Markdown with optional pomxml code fences for complex diagrams. This format uses pom-md to convert Markdown into pom XML before rendering.

Pipeline: .pom.md → parseMd() → buildPptx() → pptx-glimpse → SVG → Webview

---
size: 16:9
---
 
# Hello World
 
- First point
- Second point

See the pom-md documentation for the full Markdown syntax reference.

.pom.xml — pom XML

Write slides directly in pom XML for full control over layout and styling.

Pipeline: .pom.xml → buildPptx() → pptx-glimpse → SVG → Webview

<Slide>
  <Text fontSize="28" bold="true">Hello World</Text>
  <Ul>
    <Li>First point</Li>
    <Li>Second point</Li>
  </Ul>
</Slide>

See the Nodes reference for the full list of available XML nodes and their attributes.
