# Slyshow

> `$ slyshow file...`

Simple bash tool and script for creating a minimal slideshow.

It will only allow you to show 4 lines of centered text.

["How To Speak by Patrick Winston"][1] inspired me to make this tool.

## Features

- Supports ANSI text input.

- Centers all the text.

- Written in Bash.

- Promotes minimal slideshows.

## Requirements

Requires **bash** because it is written for it, Perl for stripping ANSI

formatting, **less** for displaying the generated text and **tput** to

determine width, height, bold and normal text.

These tools tend to be installed on Linux systems by default.
