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.

OPTIONS
       -v      Print version information to stdout and exit.

USAGE
       Mouse commands

	       Button1 | Button5
		       Go to next slide, if existent.

	       Button3 | Button4
		       Go to previous slide, if	existent.

       Keyboard	commands

	       Escape |	q
		       Quit.

	       r       Reload the slides. Only works on	file input.

	       Right | Return |	Space |	l | j |	Down | Next | n
		       Go to next slide, if existent.

	       Left | Backspace	| h | k	| Up | Prior | p
		       Go to previous slide, if	existent.

FORMAT
       The  presentation  file	is  made up of at least	one paragraph, with an
       empty line separating two slides.  Each input line is interpreted  lit-
       erally,	except	from  control characters at the	beginning of lines de-
       scribed 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.
