.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
is a simple plaintext presentation tool for X. sent does not need LaTeX,
|
|
|
|
|
LibreOffice or any other fancy file format. Instead, sent reads plaintext
|
|
|
|
|
describing the slides. sent can also draw images.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
Every paragraph represents a slide in the presentation. Especially for
|
|
|
|
|
presentations using the Takahashi method this is very nice and allows
|
|
|
|
|
you to write the presentation for a quick lightning talk within a
|
|
|
|
|
few minutes.
