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

12 Dependencies

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