# How to write slides?
Split pages by horizontal ruler (e.g. `---`). It's very simple.
```markdown
# Slide 1
foobar
---
# Slide 2
foobar
```
---
# Directives
Marp has extended syntax called **"Directives"** to support creating beautiful slides.
Insert front-matter to the top of Markdown:
```
---
theme: default
---
```
or HTML comment to anywhere:
```html
```
https://marpit.marp.app/directives
---
## [Global directives](https://marpit.marp.app/directives?id=global-directives)
- `theme`: Choose theme
- `size`: Choose slide size from `16:9` and `4:3` *(except Marpit framework)*
- [`headingDivider`](https://marpit.marp.app/directives?id=heading-divider): Instruct to divide slide pages at before of specified heading levels
```
---
theme: gaia
size: 4:3
---
# Content
```
> Marp can use [built-in themes in Marp Core](https://github.com/marp-team/marp-core/tree/master/themes#readme): `default`, `gaia`, and `uncover`.
---
## [Local directives](https://marpit.marp.app/directives?id=local-directives)
These are the setting value per slide pages.
- `paginate`: Show pagination by set `true`
- `header`: Specify the contents for header
- `footer`: Specify the contents for footer
- `class`: Set HTML class for current slide
- `color`: Set text color
- `backgroundColor`: Set background color
---
### Spot directives
Local directives would apply to **defined page and following pages**.
They can apply to single page by using underscore prefix such as `_class`.
---
### Example
This page is using invert color scheme [defined in Marp built-in theme](https://github.com/marp-team/marp-core/tree/master/themes#readme).
```html
```
---
# [Image syntax](https://marpit.marp.app/image-syntax)
You can resize image size and apply filters through keywords: `width` (`w`), `height` (`h`), and filter CSS keywords.
```markdown
```
```markdown
```
Please refer [resizing image syntax](https://marpit.marp.app/image-syntax?id=resizing-image) and [a list of CSS filters](https://marpit.marp.app/image-syntax?id=image-filters).
 
---
# [Background image](https://marpit.marp.app/image-syntax?id=slide-backgrounds)
You can set background image for a slide by using `bg` keyword.
```markdown
```
---
## Multiple backgrounds ([Marpit's advanced backgrounds](https://marpit.marp.app/image-syntax?id=advanced-backgrounds))
Marp can use multiple background images.
```markdown
```
Also can change alignment direction by including `vertical` keyword.
---
## [Split background](https://marpit.marp.app/image-syntax?id=split-backgrounds)
Marp can use [Deckset](https://docs.deckset.com/English.lproj/Media/01-background-images.html#split-slides) style split background(s).
Make a space for background by `bg` + `left` / `right` keywords.
```markdown
```
---
## [Fragmented list](https://marpit.marp.app/fragmented-list)
Marp will parse a list with asterisk marker as the fragmented list for appearing contents one by one. (_**Only for exported HTML** by [Marp CLI][marp-cli] / [Marp for VS Code][marp-vscode]_)
```markdown
# Bullet list
- One
- Two
- Three
---
# Fragmented list
* One
* Two
* Three
```
---
## Math typesetting (only for [Marp Core][marp-core])
[KaTeX](https://katex.org/) math typesetting such as $ax^2+bc+c$ can use with [Pandoc's math syntax](https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#math).
$$I_{xx}=\int\int_Ry^2f(x,y)\cdot{}dydx$$
```tex
$ax^2+bc+c$
```
```tex
$$I_{xx}=\int\int_Ry^2f(x,y)\cdot{}dydx$$
```
