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 La-
     TeX,  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 pre-
     sentations 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.

     Mouse commands

	     Button1 | Button5

	     Left | Backspace | h | k | Up | Prior | p

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,  ex-
     cept  from  control  characters at the beginning of lines described as fol-
     lows:

     @	     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 in-
	     terpreting 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.
