In the past I used reveal.js with its Markdown plugin to create slides for presentations. While that worked somewhat it always felt like working against reveal.js. Also their default of editing the index.html and other files in the source code felt really odd and I never managed to get good looking PDFs out of it (and I tried a lot). Then I stumbled over Marp and it's been great. Don't get me wrong, it's not perfect, but for my use cases it's much better than using reveal.js with Markdown, as it just gets out of the way. Write your Markdown, maybe sprinkle in a bit of CSS and that's it. Wanna generate standalone HTML pages or a PDF out of it? Just run one command and get beautiful looking results.
