So Markdeck lets you use ascii art via pandoc, as well as generating slides from text with titles, background images and background colors. It can also generate slides with "hand-written sketches" as in the complete slideshow: https://arnehilmann.github.io/markdeck/showcase/#/example-te...

I tried to help by putting in a change request, but couldn't exactly figure out where the slides were coming from.

Ahh, that should probably go into the documentation...

but for now: the `showcase`[0] gets rendered from the `examples` folder, here[1].

Can it really not include images in the output though? I didn't see an example in the showcase.
The word cloud and the stick figure are taken from the `assets/img` folder; you can reference ANY file you want, as long as it is located somewhere within the `assets` folder.
That sounds great, thanks! I'll try it right away.
