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

|

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sent FILE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If FILE 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:
