Deckset in Education

1

Preparing slides for your class doesn’t have to be an endless chore.

Here are a few Deckset features that will help you get the most out of your slides.

2

Footers and Slide Numbers

Include persistent custom footers and/or running slide numbers by using directives:

Make sure the two directives start on the first line of your markdown file, and ensure there are no empty lines between the two.

footer: © Unsigned Integer UG, 2017
slidenumbers: true

3

Footnotes

Manage your footnotes[^1] directly where you need them. Alongside numbers, you can also use text references[^Sample Footnote].

Include footnotes by inserting[^Your Footnote] within the text. The accompanying reference can appear anywhere in the document:

[^Your Footnote]: Full reference here

4

Footnotes

Footnote references need to be unique in the markdown file. This means, that you can also reference footnotes from any slide, no matter where they are defined.

When there are multiple references are listed, they must all be separated by blanks lines.

5

Nested Lists

You can create nested lists

by indenting
each item with
4 spaces

It’s that simple

6

Links

Create links to any external resource—like a website—by wrapping link text in square brackets, followed immediately by a set of regular parentheses containing the URL where you want the link to point:

‘a website’

Your links will be clickable in exported PDFs as well!

7

Display formulas

Easily include mathematical formulas by enclosing TeX commands in $$ delimiters. Deckset uses MathJax to translate TeX commands into beautiful vector graphics.

8

Schrödinger equation

The simplest way to write the time-independent Schrödinger equation is \[H\psi = E\psi\], however, with the Hamiltonian operator expanded it becomes:

$$

\frac{\hbar^2}{2m} \frac{d^2 \psi}{dx^2} + V\psi = E\psi

$$

H\psi = E\psi

-\frac{\hbar^2}{2m} \frac{d^2 \psi}{dx^2} + V\psi = E\psi

9

Captioned Images and Videos

Easily create captions using [inline] images/videos with text underneath.

Plus:

PDF export for printed handouts
Speaker notes and rehearsal mode
Switch theme and ratio on the fly
Animated GIFs for cheap wins and LOLs :-)
