Slidev Syntax Guide
A comprehensive reference for Slidev's extended Markdown syntax, covering everything from slide separators and frontmatter to MDC components and click animations. You'll want this when you're writing complex presentations and need to remember how to do two-column layouts, add speaker notes in the right place, or figure out why your slide separator isn't working (probably missing blank lines). It includes a solid troubleshooting section for common YAML and syntax errors, plus practical examples of inline styles, background images, and named slots. The best practices section actually helps you avoid the quirks that trip people up when converting standard Markdown to Slidev format.
