Import

Want to create a presentation really, really quickly? Import a Markdown or text file, which automatically converts it into slides in Presenter. Add a few visuals and you’re good to go.

To import a .md or .txt file from Writer (or any text editor):

• Go to File → Import → Markdown/Text
• Select a file to import
• Choose from additional importing options and click Open

💡 Keep the additional importing options checked to further speed up the process of converting your document into a presentation.

Convert Markdown to Slides

Presenter splits your imported document into slides based on its headings, such as # Heading1 or ## Heading2. Headings on consecutive lines, with no blank line or text between them, stay together on the same slide.

💡 Keep in mind that regular text paragraphs are not visible in your slides, as explained in our in-app tutorial, Fast and Focused. Body text is your script by default—your speaker notes.

Import Local Images

If your imported .md or .txt document includes local images, Presenter will automatically add them to the .iapresenter file. Depending on your local settings, Presenter may ask you for access to these images.

Imported images have to be added like this: ![alt text](image_name.png)—see our Markdown Guide for more details.
