This is The Big Release of our rewritten library! 🎉

Although a number of features have stayed the same and the API should be familiar, below is a breakdown of the largest changes to note, as well as a list of features that have mostly stayed in sync with what was available in versions prior.

New Features

  • Stepper is now available directly from the library, allowing for code range highlighting/scrolling within CodePane.
  • Slide templating and base themeing is also now available directly from the library.
  • Style your slides using components like FlexBox, Flex, and Grid. Layout components also support a number of styled-system props (like border and color).
  • Spectacle now supports mdx presentations, in addition to the previously supported md, js, and html slide types.

Improved Features

  • Custom background images of varying backgroundOpacity are supported directly from the Slide component.
  • "Fade" and "Slide" transitions are available out of the box, and are supported on the Deck and Slide-level.
  • Support for dual-browser tab mode for presenter mode in all browsers.
