README

          

sent is a simple plaintext presentation tool.

sent 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

You need Xlib and Xft to build sent and the
[farbfeld](http://tools.suckless.org/farbfeld/) tools installed to use images
in your presentations.

###### Demo

To get a little demo, just type

make && ./sent example

You can navigate with the arrow keys and quit with `q`.

###### Usage

sent [FILE]

If FILE is omitted or 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:
