## Frequently asked questions

### What syntax does this tool support?

It supports standard Markdown slide syntax, specifically compatible with Remark and Marp styles, using '---' to separate individual slides.

### Can I customize the appearance of my slides?

Yes, you can choose between 'Light' and 'Ink' themes, adjust the base font size, and toggle slide numbers or background printing.

### How do I ensure my slides are formatted correctly?

Ensure each slide is separated by a horizontal rule ('---') and use standard Markdown headers for slide titles.

### What is the 'Wait Until' option for?

It controls the rendering process, ensuring the tool waits for network resources to load before capturing the PDF, which is useful for complex layouts.

### Is there a limit to the number of slides?

There is no hard limit, but very large decks may require adjusting the 'Extra Wait Time' to ensure all elements render correctly before export.
