Slide

A pure and simple presentation tool for Android inspired by Takahashi method. With simple markup language you can easily make modern-looking text slides. The main idea of such a technique is to visualize speech keynote with no distracting details. Slides with only a few words shown can easily keep the audience aware of the speaker's point.

It is also said to be extremely helpful with Japanese and other eastern languages which use non-Latin alphabets.

Syntax

General

Each paragraph is a slide. Blank lines separate slides
Text is rendered using the largest possible font size to fit in the slide bounds
Single-line text is centered, otherwise it's left-aligned
Dot at the beginning of a line is ignored. It's helpful to "escape" blank lines or special symbols inside a slide

Text style

Text surrounded with * is rendered as bold (emphasized). Use ** to render a normal * sign
Line starting with # is a header
Line starting with ␣␣ (two spaces) is rendered as code (monospace).

Images

Line starting with @ inserts an image from the URL (web, dropbox, local device storage)
Images may be scaled, e.g @http://example.com/bg.png 30%
Images may have certain gravity, e.g. @http://example.com/logo.png top
