======

`slides` is a simple program to create postscript slides

from simple text files. `slides` is written in [Go][go],

and requires a Go compiler (and no more) to be built using

the default build mechanism.

slides format

-------------

Each slide is described by a series of consequtive, non-empty,

lines. Lines starting with `#` are comments, and will be 

ignored, while lines with `//` are escaped lines, which will 

be printed verbatim. Each line is displayed as such, and 

will *not* be reflowed.

Comments are either just text or "command comments", designated

with an extra `+` after the `#`. These can be used to set fonts

or text sizes. All commands are listed and explained in

[this][article] introductory article to `slides`.

usage

-----

`slides` either reads it's file from standard input, or the first 

command line argument, if given. A postscript definition of all 

slides is then printed to the standard output.

Asuming `my-talk.sl` contains the contents of a presentation, 

which one would like to convert to a PostScript file, one can run

	$ slides my-talk.sl > my-talk.ps

or if one wants a PDF version of the same slides, then

	$ slides my-talk.sl | ps2pdf - my-talk.pdf

to generate these. This of course requires the `ps2pdf` programm

to be installed, from the [GhostScript][gs] package.
