There is a template to make reveal.js work work with mkdocs as well.

I've tried some of the above, recommend adding https://github.com/ksky521/nodeppt to the list.
It's currently my favorite markdown-to-ppt tool.
It supports so many features that at least the {.build.moveIn} and the speaker mode are vital to a slide show.

Recommend everybody try that.

May I recommend the tool Rusty Slider, available as a native application for Windows/Mac/Linux as well as on the web.

I have been working on a little side project: https://mdslides.app/

It is built using Reveal.js and Ace, and is a simple markdown presentation tool right in the browser.

iA Presenter has an opinionated take on the markdown → slides workflow.

It recently hit 1.0. Note that it's Mac only, commercial, and apparently not (yet) scriptable from the CLI.

MarkSlides is a tool that allows you to create slides using Markdown.
It is created based on Marp, so any Marp syntax can be rendered to the slide.
In addition, it also supports Generating Slides using AI like ChatGPT.
