You can control the duration of the transition by passing in the value in seconds: slide-transition: fade(0.3). As per usual, these commands can also be overridden on a per slide level, e.g. [.slide-transition: fade(0.3)]
- New: Added the option to export a reduced file size PDF (this feature substantially decreases the exported presentation file size by using compression on large image embeds)

New in Deckset 1.6.2 (Jul 11, 2016)
- Formula support has been fully overhauled …and now comes for FREE:
- We greatly improved how MathJax formulas are getting rendered on your slides. In fact, we were so happy with the improvements that we decided to no longer make formula support an In-App Purchase but include it with Deckset. Hope you like it!
- All-new export options:
- The export options used to be a little, well, sparse. But not anymore! You can now export your presentation with presenter notes, as well as export all your slides as images. Also, you can now export each stage of build steps—and there’s more to come!
- Specify color swatch with theme selection:
- When we introduced the possibility to specify your theme choice in Markdown, we didn’t think specifying the color swatch would be that important. But your feedback proved us otherwise. So this is now possible. It would certainly be too much to ask from you to come up with the right names for all of those colors, so you can specify them by their index, e.g. “theme: Plain Jane, 1”.
- Improved presenter notes:
- You can now format your presenter notes with Markdown and they get rendered accordingly in presentation mode.
- On stage a lot:
- Use a Bluetooth mouse? You can now use the right mouse button to go back one slide.
- Other improvements and bug fixes:
- We managed to track down a somewhat esoteric bug, that prevented presenter mode from working properly on certain projectors at certain resolutions. Consider this bug squashed.
- Occasionally, links in your presentation caused Deckset to crash on export. This has been fixed.
- We made portrait videos behave nicely.
