iA Writer
The Original Focused Writing App
Import iPhone
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):
- Tap the folder icon at the top left of the Editor, then choose Open…
- Find the
.mdor.txtfile and tap it - Enable or disable additional import options, then tap Import
Tip
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.
Tip
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.
Adding Images After Import
Presenter imports only the text of your .md or .txt document. If it includes local images, add them afterwards through the Media menu.
