Convert Markdown to Slides

1. Write Markdown, using headings to chunk your file into sections. Each heading will be its own slide.
2. Annotate the markdown file with YAML by adding a document header:

title:
 - RAG Pipeline
author:
 - Bobby Ratliff
theme: 
 - Copenhagen
date:
 - March 4, 2026

Then convert the markdown file to html:

pandoc -t slidy -s rag-pipeline.txt -o rag-pipeline.html

For more information, see the Pandoc Manual.

Convert Markdown to PDF

Install dependencies

brew install pandoc
brew install --cask basictex
# Ensure latex utilities are on the PATH
eval "$(/usr/libexec/path_helper)"

Convert the document

pandoc -s 'rag pipeline.md' -o 'rag pipeline.pdf'
