A simple plaintext presentation tool
A simple plaintext presentation tool.
sent does not need latex, libreoffice or any other fancy file format, it uses
plaintext files. Every line represents a slide in the presentation. This may
limit the use, but for presentations using the Takahashi method this is very
nice and allows you to write down the presentation for a quick lightning talk
within a few minutes.
The presentation is displayed in a simple X11 window colored black on white for
maximum contrast even if the sun shines directly onto the projected image. The
content of each slide is automatically scaled to fit the window so you don't
have to worry about alignment. Instead you can really concentrate on the
content.
Usage
-----
sent [-f FONTSTRING] FILE1 [FILE2 ...]
If one FILE equals `-`, stdin will be read. A presentation file could look like
this:
sent
