Hi @xkr fair point. But to be clear, the hello-world example was written specifically to be embedded in the gitpitch.com website and it was designed to auto-play every slide so it could be watched almost like a short movie.
Typical presentations are something that the presenter manually steps through slide by slide as they speak. So needs none of fragment timing snippets you came across.
Almost any other GitPitch presentation out there is a better example of what's typically involved, for example, see this presentation from AnyCable:

- fenomas 9y agoThe whole point of markdown is that it covers a very small subset of HTML in a human-readable way, and for any formatting beyond that subset you use regular HTML. Adding <span> tags to customize things is very much the intended way to write markdown.
- harterrt 9y agoRight, but maybe markdown isn't the right markup language for presentations. This may be the correct way to add color in markdown, but it feels unnatural for the tool. I'm glad xkr brought this up it; it feels like hidden complexity.
- fenomas 9y agoI don't follow. Are there other markup languages where you add styling to text in a way that's substantially different from span tags?
