mdp-compiler

The MDP engine: compile one .mdp source, deterministically, into design-locked page, slides, flyer, report, one-pager, memo, letter, scroll, accordion, tabs, and stepper artifacts. Zero dependencies, pure ESM.

The author writes meaning, never styling. There is no color, size, or font in the source, so the output cannot drift into the generic "AI look", and the same source always compiles to byte-identical HTML.

import { compile, parse, ARTIFACTS } from "mdp-compiler";

const source = `---
title: Tidewater
theme: ocean
---

# Tidewater

A quarterly update.
`;

const html = compile(source, "slides"); // "page" | "slides" | "flyer" | "report" | "onepager" | "memo" | "letter" | "scroll" | "accordion" | "tabs" | "stepper"

API

• compile(source, artifact = "page") returns the rendered HTML string for one artifact (any artifact name: "page", "slides", "flyer", "report", "onepager", "memo", "letter", "scroll", "accordion", "tabs", or "stepper").
• parse(source) returns the semantic tree (frontmatter plus the ordered, closed set of body blocks).
• ARTIFACTS is the list of artifacts the engine can compile.
• Also exported: THEMES, DEFAULT_THEME, THEME_SWATCHES, SCHEMA, SCHEMA_VERSION, and the escapeHtml / inline helpers.
