A simple plaintext presentation tool.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sent does not need latex, libreoffice or any other fancy file format, it uses
|
|
|
|
|
plaintext files. Every line represents a slide in the presentation. This may
|
|
|
|
|
limit the use, but for presentations using the Takahashi method this is very
|
|
|
|
|
nice and allows you to write down the presentation for a quick lightning talk
|
|
|
|
|
within a few minutes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The presentation is displayed in a simple X11 window colored black on white for
|
|
|
|
|
maximum contrast even if the sun shines directly onto the projected image. The
|
|
|
|
|
content of each slide is automatically scaled to fit the window so you don't
|
|
|
|
|
have to worry about alignment. Instead you can really concentrate on the
|
|
|
|
|
content.

|
|
|
sent [-f FONTSTRING] FILE1 [FILE2 ...]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If one FILE equals `-`, stdin will be read. A presentation file could look like
|
|
|
|
|
