# Introduction

Lantern is a terminal presentation tool for markdown decks. It focuses on fast rendering, readable
defaults, and plain-text decks that still look good in a terminal.

The current implementation supports interactive presenting, formatted printing, theme selection,
syntax-highlighted code, tables, images, and admonitions. The code is split into three crates:

- `lantern-core` parses markdown, metadata, themes, highlighting, printing, and validation.
- `lantern-ui` renders the interactive terminal UI with ratatui.
- `lantern-cli` exposes the `lantern` command.

Lantern is still early.

Some planned features in the roadmap, such as live reload, search UI, speaker note parsing,
and export commands, are not implemented yet.
