HTML presentation framework compatibility for Slidesfly

Framework compatibility matrix

Authoring tool	Tested version	Publish artifact	Slidesfly path	Evidence status
Plain HTML	Browser-standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript	One self-contained .html file	Anonymous up to 1 MB; Free account up to 5 MB	Built, scanned, and browser-tested
Reveal.js	6.0.1	index.html plus local dist and plugin assets	Root-level zip; authenticated Pro path	Built, extracted, and browser-tested
Slidev	52.18.0	Static dist directory with hash routing	Root-level zip; authenticated Pro path	Built, extracted, and browser-tested
Marp CLI	4.5.0	One generated index.html (110,832 bytes in the fixture)	Single-file path; account need depends on final size	Built and locally inspected
Quarto Reveal.js	1.9.38 stable release	Self-contained HTML with embed-resources	Single-file path if the output fits the active size limit	Official-doc recipe; not locally built in this test pass

Build the verified workflows

Plain HTML

slidesfly publish ./deck.html --title "HTML presentation" --json

Keep scripts, styles, fonts, and images inline when you want the anonymous or Free single-file path. Remote script references are rejected.

Reveal.js 6.0.1

npm install
npm run build
cd build
zip -r ../revealjs-deck.zip .
cd ..
slidesfly publish ./revealjs-deck.zip --title "Reveal.js deck" --json

The tested fixture uses the Reveal.js 6 reveal.mjs runtime and keeps every dependency inside the archive.

Slidev 52.18.0

pnpm slidev build slides.md --base ./ --out dist
cd dist
zip -r ../slidev-deck.zip .
cd ..
slidesfly publish ./slidev-deck.zip --title "Slidev deck" --json

Use hash routing for a deck served below a nested reader path. The verified fixture also disables remote font loading and supplies a local favicon.

Marp CLI 4.5.0

npx @marp-team/marp-cli@4.5.0 slides.md --output build/index.html
slidesfly publish ./build/index.html --title "Marp deck" --json

The tested fixture generated one 110,832-byte HTML file with its presentation runtime embedded. Always check the real output size because themes, images, and fonts change the result.

Quarto Reveal.js recipe

Quarto documents a single-file Reveal.js export through embed-resources. Add this front matter to the presentation, then render it:

---
title: "Quarto presentation"
format:
  revealjs:
    embed-resources: true
---

quarto render presentation.qmd

Publish the resulting HTML only after checking its size and offline behavior. Quarto notes that dynamically loaded resources may not be embedded and that the Chalkboard plugin is incompatible with this option.

Constraints shared by every framework

The deck runs in an opaque-origin sandbox without normal cookie, localStorage, or IndexedDB behavior.
Uploaded content cannot navigate the top-level reader window.
Bundle runtime scripts locally; uploaded remote script references are rejected.
Test keyboard, pointer, touch, fullscreen, fonts, images, and code highlighting.
Multi-file zip publishing requires an eligible authenticated plan and index.html at the archive root.

How this matrix was checked

The plain HTML, Reveal.js, Slidev, and Marp fixtures live in the project's examples workspace. Builds were pinned, their output shapes and resource references were inspected, and the first three were exercised in a real browser. Quarto's row is based on its official publishing documentation and is explicitly not marked as locally verified.
