README.md (1404B)
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. 10 11 12Dependencies 13 14You need Xlib and Xft to build sent and the farbfeld[0] tools installed to use 15images in your presentations. 16 17Demo 18 19To get a little demo, just type 20 21 make && ./sent example 22 23You can navigate with the arrow keys and quit with `q`. 24 25 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 35 sent 36 37 @nyan.png 38 39 depends on 40 - Xlib 41 - Xft 42 - farbfeld 43 44 sent FILENAME 45 one slide per paragraph 46 # This is a comment and will not be part of the presentation 47 \# This and the next line start with backslashes 48 49 \@FILE.png 50 51 thanks / questions? 52 53 54Development 55 56sent is developed at http://tools.suckless.org/sent 57 58 590: http://tools.suckless.org/farbfeld/
