NAME

       sent — simple plaintext presentation tool

SYNOPSIS

       sent [-v] [file]

DESCRIPTION

       sent  is  a simple plain text presentation tool for X. sent does not need LaTeX, LibreOffice or any other
       fancy file format. Instead, sent reads plain text describing the slides. sent can also draw images.

       Every paragraph represents a slide in the presentation. Especially for presentations using the  Takahashi
       method this is very nice and allows you to write the presentation for a quick lightning talk within a few
       minutes.

FORMAT

       The  presentation  file  is  made up of at least one paragraph, with an empty line separating two slides.
       Each input line is interpreted literally, except from  control  characters  at  the  beginning  of  lines
       described as follows:

       @       Create individual slide containing the image pointed to by the filename following the @.

       #       Ignore this input line.

       \       Create input line using the characters following the \ without interpreting them.

CUSTOMIZATION

       sent  can  be  customized  by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code. This keeps it
       fast, secure and simple.
