# sent

sent is a simple plaintext presentation tool.

sent does not need latex, libreoffice or any other fancy file format, it 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.

This repository holds my fork of Suckless's sent program with some patches applied.

## Applied Patches

- [progress bar](https://tools.suckless.org/sent/patches/progress-bar/)

- [toggle mouse cursor](https://tools.suckless.org/sent/patches/toggle_cursor/)

- [inverted colors](https://tools.suckless.org/sent/patches/inverted-colors/)

- [toggle scm](https://tools.suckless.org/sent/patches/toggle-scm/)

- [bilinear scaling](https://tools.suckless.org/sent/patches/bilinear_scaling/)

I also coded in a function that toggles between bilinear/nearest-neighbor

scaling for images, bound to `a`. I may make it into a patch someday, it's very

simple, albeit slow (requires reloading the presentation file).

## Dependencies

You need Xlib and Xft to build sent and the [farbfeld](https://tools.suckless.org/farbfeld/) tools installed to use

images in your presentations.

## Installation

Simply run the following (if necessary, as root):

    make install

To get a little demo after installation, try opening the included presentation in the file "example":

    sent example

You can navigate with the arrow keys and quit with `q` (for all keybindings see `man sent`).

## 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:

	sent

	

	@nyan.png

	

	depends on

	- Xlib

	- Xft

	- farbfeld

	

	sent FILENAME

	one slide per paragraph

	# This is a comment and will not be part of the presentation

	\# This and the next line start with backslashes

	

	\@FILE.png

	

	thanks / questions?
