It belongs to the Marp team ecosystem, using Marp Core and the Marpit framework as the conversion engine. The README presents Marp CLI as a tool for converting Marp or Marpit Markdown decks into static HTML/CSS, PDF, PowerPoint documents, and images. Over time it accumulated browser-based export paths, watch/preview/server modes, Docker usage, standalone binaries, and configuration through cosmiconfig-style files. ### Adoption history By 2026-07-01 GitHub metadata showed 3,673 stars and 189 forks for marp-cli, while the npm registry listed @marp-team/marp-cli 4.4.0 as current. The supplied package-manager facts list Homebrew, Nix, and Scoop, and the README also points to npm, Docker Hub, and standalone binaries. The broader Marp homepage describes an official toolset including Marp for VS Code, Marp CLI, Marp Core, and Marpit. That ecosystem story helped the CLI become the automation/export counterpart to editor-based slide authoring. ### How it is used Users write slides in Marp Markdown and run marp to produce HTML, PDF, PPTX, PNG/JPEG images, presenter notes, or a local preview/server. PDF, PPTX, and image export use a browser such as Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. Marp CLI discovers config files such as marp.config.js, marp.config.mjs, marp.config.cjs, marp.config.ts, .marprc variants, or a marp section in package.json. It also accepts --config-file/--config/-c for explicit configuration. ### Why package nerds care Marp CLI is significant because it turns Markdown slide decks into reproducible build artifacts. In package-manager culture it is a classic docs-as-code tool: install one CLI in CI, keep slides in git, and export web, PDF, and PowerPoint deliverables from the same source. ### Timeline - 2018: GitHub repository created and npm package first published. - 2024: Marp CLI v4 introduced major updates in the Marp team release stream. - 2026: v4.4.0 added Node.js v26 support and Linux ARM64 standalone builds. ### Related projects - Marp CLI depends on the Marp ecosystem: Marp, Marp Core, and Marpit. - Marp for VS Code is the editor-side companion for writing and previewing Marp Markdown decks. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for marp-cli.
