Importing your own content

Created by Carlos T, Modified on Sun, Apr 6 at 3:55 PM by Edward W

Quickly import your content into Typeset by dragging and dropping files or copying and pasting text from other sources!

Typeset supports direct import of various file formats, including Markdown (.md), HTML (.html), Plain Text (.txt), and Microsoft Word (.docx).

How to Import

Simply drag and drop your file into the Typeset editor. The platform will process the document and generate slides based on its structure. Typeset can support files containing text and images.

You can also highlight and copy your entire document, then paste your content into the Typeset editor.

You can edit your imported/pasted content from the Typeset editor as needed.

Formatting Guidelines

To ensure optimal functionality with the import or pasting of your content, ensure you’ve structured your document with the appropriate headings.

- Heading 1 (H1): Designates the main title of a slide, and will also create a “break.”

- Heading 2 (H2): Creates a subtitle within the slide.

- Normal Text: Creates normal text that will serve as the body or paragraph of your content

Typeset currently supports only H1 and H2 headings for slide generation and will treat anything above H2 (H3, etc.) the same as H1.

Best practices:

-Break your content into short paragraphs or text blocks, leaving sufficient spacing to prevent overlap when importing.

Formatting in the text editor

As long as your source document has some minimal formatting, such as Heading 1 styles, applied in either Google Docs or Microsoft Word, Typeset will turn the text into slides.

A new slide will be created before each, Heading 1 and we try and preserve as much of your formatting as possible. Yes, Typeset will bring in your images, too!

To prevent creating an extremely long content area in a slide, make sure each section of text below a header inside your text document is short and concise!
