Marpstyle: styles for the Marp package
Marpstyle was created with beauty and simplicity as its main concerns, while taking functionality into account. Back in 2021, when the first plato.css theme was ready, I decided to share it freely here on Github.
I sincerely hope you make good use of it and that it comes to be as useful to you as it has been to me.
What is Marp?
-
As you will find better explained in Marp´s site at Github, Marpit /mɑːrpɪt/ is the skinny framework for creating slide deck from Markdown, created by Yuki Hattori, to whom I am very thankful.
-
All the themes here presented are destinated to be used with the Marpit: Markdown slide deck framework. In order to install Marp in your VS Code, take a look at Marp for VS Code.
Please, REMEMBER! <br> If you find my styles and Marp's ecosystem useful, we kindly ask you to include the credits in your presentations!
New Feature: List Items Highlight (18.03.2025)
I´ve just implemented the highlighting of list elements in all styles when you move the mouse pointer over them.

Please note that this function, like many others, only works if you export your presentation in HTML mode.
If you don't like the highlight feature or the default color used, you can disable it or change the color of the highlight bar as follows:
To disable list item highlight:
Insert the following code at the beginning of your presentation code:
<style>
li:hover { background-color: inherit; }
</style>
To change the highlighting color:
Insert the following code at the begining of your presentation code:
<style>
li:hover { background-color: rgb(46, 253, 6); }
</style>

What´s necessary to install?
-
First of all, you must have
Marpinstalled and operational on your system. I created these styles with the VSCode environment in mind, and only it, but that doesn't mean they won't work well in other environments, only that I haven't tested them yet. -
My suggestion is that you create a separate folder for each intended presentation of yours. Inside this folder I do also recomend you to create another folder, which might be called
/style, specifically destinated for theCSSstyle files you intend do use in your presentation. -
If you use
Marpfor VSCode, remember to include the path to the theme files (CSSfiles) in yourworkspace.code-workspacein order to make them available to your slide deck. -
A prerequisite for using some extra fonts is that you have them installed on your computer. That said, some of the
stylesavailable here require special fonts not available by default in most OS installations. I intend to make some modifications so that these fonts are automatically downloaded from internet, but until this modification ins implemented, you will find below a section containing informations about the special fonts use in some of my styles and a possible locations where from you can download them (for free).It might look similar to this:
{
"folders": [
{
"path": "."
}
],
"settings": {
"markdown.Marp.themes": [
"./style/arendt.css",
"./style/descartes.css",
"./style/einstein.css",
"./style/freud.css",
"./style/godel.css",
"./style/hegel.css",
"./style/heidegger.css",
