FAQPage Schema
How do I export Slidev slides to PDF?

To export Slidev slides to PDF, run `bunx slidev export slides.md --timeout 120000 --output out.pdf` from the project root. Always export from the root `slides.md` file rather than subpages to ensure images resolve correctly.

Why does my Slidev presentation export have blank pages or missing images?

Blank pages or missing images in Slidev exports occur when exporting from subpage files like `pages/*.md` instead of the root `slides.md`. Always run the export command from the root directory to ensure all relative image paths resolve correctly.

How do I start the Slidev development server?

Start the Slidev development server by running `bunx slidev slides.md`. This command initializes the local dev environment for your presentation, allowing you to preview and iterate on slides.md directly.

What is the best way to fix slide overflow in Slidev?

The best way to fix slide overflow in Slidev is to run the `/fix-slide` command. This utilizes a dedicated fix-slide skill to automatically address content overflow and correct common layout issues within your presentation.

Does Slidev require YAML frontmatter for presentations?

Yes, Slidev requires a YAML frontmatter with a name and description for your presentation. This metadata is necessary to properly configure the slides.md file and ensure the dev server initializes the project without errors.
