Add the following frontmatter to your slides.md. Start Slidev then it will prompt you to install the theme automatically.

Configuration

Header Numbering

By default, this theme automatically numbers h1 and h2 headers throughout your presentation:

• h1 headers are numbered globally: 1❯, 2❯, 3❯, 4❯...
• h2 headers are numbered within their h1 section: 1.1❯, 1.2❯, 2.1❯, 2.2❯...

Headers in cover and intro layouts are excluded from numbering.

To disable header numbering globally, add the following to your main frontmatter:

---
theme: foamscience
headerNumbering: false
---

To disable header numbering for a specific slide, add it to that slide's frontmatter:

---
headerNumbering: false
---

Identical consecutive headings won't count towards a new heading label; for example, "Heading 1" will only numbered once; and hiding it from the ToC keeps the numbering consistent:

---

# Heading 1

---
hideInToc: true
---

# Heading 1

Converting BibTeX to JSON

The References component uses JSON format for bibliographies. To convert your BibTeX file to JSON:

# Install bib2json (if using uvx - no installation needed)
uvx bib2json -i public/references.bib -o public/references.json

Then use the JSON file in your slides:

<References bibFile="/references.json" />
