There was a segfault when sent was called without arguments. Now we use stdin when there's no argument or - is used. Thanks to izabera for the report.

sent is a simple plaintext presentation tool.
|
|
|
|
sent does not need latex, libreoffice or any other fancy file format, it uses
|
|
plaintext files to describe the slides and can include images via farbfeld.
|
|
Every paragraph represents a slide in the presentation.
|
|
|
|
The presentation is displayed in a simple X11 window. The content of each slide
|
|
is automatically scaled to fit the window and centered so you also don't have to
|
|
worry about alignment. Instead you can really concentrate on the content.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dependencies
|
|
|
|
You need Xlib to build sent and the farbfeld[0] tools installed to use images in
|
|
your presentations.
|
|
|
|
Demo
|
|
|
|
To get a little demo, just type
|
|
|
|
make && ./sent example
|
|
|
|
You can navigate with the arrow keys and quit with `q`.
|

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