:::
[^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](https://github.com/jeertmans/manim-slides/issues/new/choose).
[^3]: PowerPoint online does not seem to support automatic playing of videos,
so you need LibreOffice Impress on Linux platforms.
