=== Any other type
These slides take the first three lines of content and display them in an +H1+, +H2+, and +H3+, respectively. All other lines are ignored.
+== Timer
+
+Currently, there will be a small timer on the bottom left of your presentation. By default, it will show the number of minutes elapsed since you clicked the play button. It can be customized:
+
+* If you don't want to use the timer, simply add <code>display: none</code> to the <code>#timer</code> stanza in the stylesheet.
+* If your presentation might go over an hour, remove <code>display: none</code> from the <code>#timer .hours</code> stanza in the stylesheet.
+* If you want to see seconds elapsing, remove <code>display: none</code> from the <code>#timer .seconds</code> stanza in the stylesheet.
+* If you want to hide the controls (e.g. because you know the keyboard shortcuts or have a presentation remote), add <code>display: none</code> to the <code>#controls</code> stanza in the stylesheet.
+* You can adjust the style in any other way you see fit in the stylsheet
+
== Customizations/Styling
You have two points of customization: +custom.js+, which is loaded *after* all the other JS, but before the +load+ event. This is where you can override Trickster's configuration if you like (e.g. for default transition time).
The second, and more useful, point of customization is +styles.css+ or +styles.scss+. This is loaded in your presentation and is where you can customize the look and feel of your slideshow. If you create a <tt>.scss</tt> file, trickster will run SASS on it to convert it to CSS, so you have the full awesome power of SASS available.

Every time you reload, the presentation will be dynamically sized to the size of the browser, so you should configure your browser and monitor to the size of your presentation, then reload.
Occasionally, Trickster will size the slides too larger or too small. In that case, you can use "-" and "+" to resize the slides on the fly. Note that if you you reload, the sizes will be reset.
+Finally, if you want to see your elapsed time, click the play button before you start (see keyboard shortcuts below).

== Tips
Trickster discourages verbose slides with lots of text or lots of bullets. This is because these are aspects of terrible presentations. Instead, create many more slides with fewer amounts of text.
