I opted for “Libre” for my presentation, but there are plenty of other options for any occasion. (If your image lives on the web, you can of course also enter its URL here.) Themes for Any Occasionĭeckset comes with a number of different themes with handpicked fonts and colors for you to choose from. In the image popover, reference the image with its name (including filename extension) in the field “URL”:.In Ulysses, type (img) to add an image tag.
Open Finder and place your images in the folder you created for your presentation. As a Markdown file can’t contain images itself, you will have to reference them. You can of course also use images with your presentation. To start a new slide, use the divider tag - (four dashes) and make sure to precede it with a blank line. Write headings, bold and italic text, nested lists and links just as you usually do with Ulysses. Now you can set off to creating your presentation: You can place it anywhere on your screen for reference, while you edit your presentation. This will open a floating preview of your presentation. In Deckset, click the “Show Preview” button: Use Deckset’s Live PreviewĮspecially when working on a small screen, you will appreciate Deckset’s handy preview feature. If you want to see it instantly, hit the shortcut ⌘S (command-S) in Ulysses. Usually it will take your text up to half a minute from input to showing up in the preview. Once you have written some text in Ulysses, it will show up in a preview of your presentation in Deckset. (You can also specify a name using Open Deckset, click “Open an Existing File…”, and select the sheet you just created with Ulysses from Finder. Ulysses will automatically generate a file name from the first line of text. Now open the folder, and create a new sheet for the text of your presentation. Right-click on the folder, select “Edit…” from the context menu, and select “Save links as inline links”:Īttention: If you miss this step, Deckset will have problems to detect images and links in your presentation. Deckset requires so-called inline links (as opposed to reference links). In the world of Markdown tools, there are two different standards for link formatting. Set the proper link formatting for this folder. You can either point Ulysses to an existing folder anywhere on your disk or create a new one. In your Ulysses library, go to the respective section and add an external folder. Go to Ulysses’ preferences and make sure that the “External Folders” section of your library is enabled. That way, you can live preview your presentation. The more comfortable way, however, is to use Ulysses to edit an existing Markdown file, and point Deckset to it. When you write your notes with Ulysses, you can of course use Quick Export to output them as a Markdown file. Preparationsĭeckset generates your presentation from a Markdown file. #DECKSET PRICING TRIAL#
If you want, you can download Deckset’s trial version and a sample presentation for your first attempts. It’s super fast and easy, especially if you’re familiar with Markdown (which you are, since you’re a Ulysses user).ĭeckset turns Markdown files into presentations and works great with your favorite text editor – that is, of course, Ulysses! In the following tutorial, you’ll learn all you need to know to make both apps play together nicely. Deckset does the layout work for me, and I don’t have to fiddle around with Keynote or PowerPoint. I simply take down some bullet points in Ulysses and turn them into pretty slides with Deckset in a breeze. For the rare occasions I need to prepare presentations, I happily rely on Deckset. At work with Ulysses I rarely hold presentations – we’re a small team, so it’s mostly easy to stay up-to-date with everyone’s projects without extensive meetings.
