Typography

Presentation slides need less text and stronger hierarchy than normal docs pages.

Good defaults

  • one idea per slide
  • short headings
  • three to five bullets at most
  • large numbers or statements on big slides

Good slide text

<!-- _layout: big -->

Avoid

  • long paragraphs
  • nested lists
  • dense code samples on title or summary slides

Typography blocks

Dorcs also supports small presentation-oriented block helpers:

  • ::: hero
  • ::: stat
  • ::: caption
  • ::: label

Example:

::: hero

Use docs for detail

Keep the full explanation in a normal Dorcs page and use the deck to present the main story.
