_presenterm_ lets you create presentations in markdown format and run them from your terminal, with support for image 
and animated gifs, highly customizable themes, code highlighting, exporting presentations into PDF format, and plenty of 
other features. This is how the [demo presentation](/examples/demo.md) looks like when running in the [kitty 
terminal](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/):
