How do I export Slidev slides to PDF?▼

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.
