Presenter Notes

Using presenter notes

Deckset turns every paragraph that starts with a ^ into presenter notes and doesn’t show this text on the slides.

You’ll see these notes on the presenter display (with two screens connected) or by using the rehearsal mode.

To start another presenter note paragraph, prefix it with a caret again. Deckset will automatically scale the notes down to fit onto the presenter display in case you have a lot of text.

Example:

# My slide title

^ This is a presenter note.

Customize the display of presenter notes

To customize the style of presenter notes, in both Presenter and Rehearsal modes and in exported documents, you may use the presenter-notes command like so:

presenter-notes: text-scale(2), alignment(left|right|center), Helvetica

You may also use this command on a single slide, like so:

[.presenter-notes: text-scale(2), alignment(left|right|center), Helvetica]

Treating all paragraphs as presenter notes

You can configure Deckset to treat all paragraphs as presenter notes. To do so either add

paragraphs-as-presenter-notes: true

at top of your Markdown file or turn on the “Paragraphs as presenter notes” option in presentation settings view.

Preview presenter notes in the main window

To preview your presenter notes in the main application window, you can turn them on by selecting Toggle Presenter Notes from the View menu.
