.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl v

.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is a simple plaintext presentation tool for X. It does not need LaTeX,
LibreOffice or any other fancy file format. Instead, it uses plaintext
files to describe the slides, including support for images.
.Pp
Every paragraph represents a slide in the presentation. Especially 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.
