Marp Styling Guide

Critical: Scoped CSS for List Coloring

Inline styles DO NOT work in Marp list items. Use scoped styles instead:

<style scoped>
li:nth-child(1) strong { color: var(--color-primary-purple); }
li:nth-child(2) strong { color: var(--color-sky-blue); }
li:nth-child(3) strong { color: var(--color-green); }
</style>

- First item with **purple text**
- Second item with **blue text**
- Third item with **green text**
