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. + + +Dependencies + +You need Xlib and Xft to build sent and the farbfeld[0] tools installed to use +images in your presentations. + +Demo + +To get a little demo, just type + + make && ./sent example + +You can navigate with the arrow keys and quit with `q`. + + +Usage + + sent [FILE] + +If FILE is omitted or 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 +`#`.
