Markdown presentation questions
Good to know before you start
You only need a few Markdown basics. Add more syntax when the presentation calls for it.
Visit Deckset supportDo I need to know Markdown?
No. Headings, paragraphs, and lists are enough to make your first presentation. Deckset includes examples you can edit as you learn more.
Can I use my preferred Markdown editor?
Yes. Deckset for Mac watches the source file you open, so you can keep writing in your preferred text editor and see the slides update in Deckset.
What can I add besides text?
Deckset supports images, video, tables, columns, syntax-highlighted code, MathJax, Mermaid, Pikchr, footnotes, and presenter notes.
Can I present directly from Deckset?
Yes. Deckset for Mac includes presenter notes, next-slide preview, rehearsal tools, timers, builds, transitions, and windowed presentation mode. You can also present from iPhone or iPad.
What can Deckset export?
Deckset exports PDF files, with optional presenter notes. It does not export native PowerPoint files.
Can I use an AI coding tool with Deckset?
Yes. Deckset presentations are Markdown files, so tools that edit text files can help draft or revise them. Check the source and preview the slides before presenting.
