      1sent is a simple plaintext presentation tool.
      2
      3sent does not need latex, libreoffice or any other fancy file format, it uses
      4plaintext files to describe the slides and can include images via farbfeld.
      5Every paragraph represents a slide in the presentation.
      6
      7The presentation is displayed in a simple X11 window. The content of each slide
      8is automatically scaled to fit the window and centered so you also don't have to
      9worry about alignment. Instead you can really concentrate on the content.

     12Dependencies

     14You need Xlib and Xft to build sent and the farbfeld[0] tools installed to use
     15images in your presentations.

     26Usage
     27
     28	sent [FILE]
     29
     30If FILE is omitted or equals `-`, stdin will be read. Produce image slides by
     31prepending a `@` in front of the filename as a single paragraph. Lines starting
     32with `#` will be ignored. A `\` at the beginning of the line escapes `@` and
     33`#`. A presentation file could look like this:
     34
