1. By default, HTML assets are loaded from the internet, but they can be pre-downloaded and embedded in the HTML file at conversion time. ↩︎

2. If you encounter a problem where slides do not automatically play or loops do not work, please file an issue on GitHub. ↩︎

3. PowerPoint online does not seem to support automatic playing of videos, so you need LibreOffice Impress on Linux platforms. ↩︎
