+# revealjs.ids (development version)
+
+- `ids` theme: highlighted/code text now uses Fira Code (the monospaced Fira Sans variant, loaded from Google Fonts), as in the IDS reference decks; falls back to Fira Mono, then DejaVu Sans Mono. Replaces the generic `monospace` default.
+
 # revealjs.ids 0.9.1.9009
 
 - Package renamed from `revealjs` to `revealjs.ids`, so the IDS corporate design edition can be installed alongside upstream rstudio/revealjs. Use it with `revealjs.ids::revealjs_presentation` in the R Markdown yaml header. Existing documents using `revealjs::revealjs_presentation` require upstream revealjs (or can be migrated by replacing the prefix).
