Use '---' on a separate line to split slides, and prefix lines with '???' to mark them as private speaker notes. ### Are speaker notes visible in published snapshots? No. Speaker notes marked with '???' are excluded when publishing an unlisted snapshot. ### What are the size and slide limits? A single presentation deck supports up to 80 slides and a maximum size of 2 MB. ### What interactive components can be added directly in Markdown? You can include interactive disclosure toggles using ':::reveal' and multiple-choice questions using ':::quiz'. ### Do I need an account to export slides? No. You can edit locally and export offline HTML or JSON without an account; only publishing an unlisted snapshot requires logging in. ## Related tools - [Markdown Slide Deck to PDF](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/md-slide-deck-to-pdf): Convert a Markdown slide deck (Remark/Marp style) into a PDF - [OKR & KPI Tree Decomposer](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/okr-tree-decomposer): Decompose an Objective into a weighted Department → Team → Personal tree with automatic progress roll-up.
