# Tait's fork of `sent` presentation tool
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sent is a simple plaintext presentation tool.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sent does not need latex, libreoffice or any other fancy file format, it uses
|
|
|
|
|
plaintext files to describe the slides and can include images via farbfeld.
|
|
|
|
|
Every paragraph represents a slide in the presentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The presentation is displayed in a simple X11 window. The content of each slide
|
|
|
|
|
is automatically scaled to fit the window and centered so you also don't have to
|
|
|
|
|
worry about alignment. Instead you can really concentrate on the content.

Dependencies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You need Xlib and Xft to build sent and the farbfeld[0] tools installed to use
|
|
|
|
|
images in your presentations.

Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sent [FILE]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If FILE is omitted or equals `-`, stdin will be read. Produce image slides by
|
|
|
|
|
prepending a `@` in front of the filename as a single paragraph. Lines starting
|
|
|
|
|
with `#` will be ignored. A `\` at the beginning of the line escapes `@` and
|
|
|
|
|
`#`. A presentation file could look like this:
