Sent
sent is a simple plaintext presentation tool.
This is my fork of sent. Sent is developed at http://tools.suckless.org/sent
sent does not need latex, libreoffice or any other fancy file format, it uses plaintext files and png images. 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.
Requirements:
for Ubuntu, I had to run
- sudo apt install xorg-dev libpng-dev
Demo
To get a little demo, just type
make && ./sent example
You can navigate with the arrow keys and quit with q.
Usage
sent FILE1 [FILE2 ...]
If one FILE 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:
sent
@nyan.png
depends on
- Xlib
- libpng
sent FILENAME
one slide per paragraph
# This is a comment and will not be part of the presentation
\# This and the next line start with backslashes
\@FILE.png
