Introduction

Lantern is a terminal presentation tool for markdown decks. It focuses on fast rendering, readable defaults, and plain-text decks that still look good in a terminal.

The current implementation supports interactive presenting, formatted printing, theme selection, syntax-highlighted code, tables, images, speaker notes, and admonitions. The published package contains a library and a binary:

• The lantern_cli library parses markdown, metadata, themes, highlighting, printing, validation, and terminal UI rendering.
• The lantern binary exposes the command-line interface.

Lantern is still early.

Some planned features in the roadmap, such as search UI and export commands, are not implemented yet.
