@marcoieni Awesome idea! I wanted to build something similar and created an extension based on this: raycast/extensions#14883

Instead of new lines as a separator, I went with --- so it can be compatible with Marp. (But I made it configurable, so your format also works)

Feel free to add some suggestions, maybe we can get you onboard as a contributor!

Great to see this!

Unfortunately I'm very busy with other stuff, that's the main reason why this is a gist and not a proper project :)

Cheers!
