Template ideas for Minidocs

One template, multiple outputs

The same source can produce a PDF document, a slide deck, or HTML. That makes templates especially useful for recurring work: reports that become presentations, RFCs that become walkthrough decks, and course notes that become handouts.

Reusable styling

Pair the Markdown structure with a saved style preset for paper size, margins, typography, color, and spacing. The next document starts with the same shape and the same finished look.
