rendering differences between the VS code integration and the Mac tool

[sgandon]

when rendering my markdown document in VSCode I get different rendering than in the Mac desktop client (0.0.14)
here is a screen shot of the diff:

Marp VSCode is based on brand-new Marp ecosystem (as known as Marp Next), and NOT the old Marp desktop application.

Your deck needs migration to suit to Marp Next if you want to preview in VSCode. There is a bit losing compatibility from Marp desktop app.

We have the documentation of Marpit Markdown (syntax from the new framework) and the features of Gaia theme.

I guess from your screenshot to need to change these directives...

• <!-- page_number: true --> -> <!-- paginate: true --> (page_number -> paginate)
• <!-- template: invert --> -> <!-- class: invert --> (template -> class)
• <!-- *template: invert --> -> <!-- _class: invert --> (* -> _)

Ok thanks a lot.
I don't mind at all switching to the Marp Next but is there a simple way to export to pdf ?

Currently you can use Marp CLI.

# Run below in terminal after installing Node.js
npx @marp-team/marp-cli slide-deck.md -o output.pdf

Marp VSCode will implement PDF export via Marp CLI in #4.
