	-A simple plaintext presentation tool.
	+sent is a simple plaintext presentation tool.

	sent does not need latex, libreoffice or any other fancy file format, it uses
	-plaintext files and png images. Every line represents a slide in the
	-presentation. This may limit the use, but for presentations using the [Takahas…
	-method](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takahashi_method) this is very nice and
	-allows you to write down the presentation for a quick lightning talk within a
	-few minutes.
	+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 …
	+worry about alignment. Instead you can really concentrate on the content.

	-The presentation is displayed in a simple X11 window colored black on white for
	-maximum contrast even if the sun shines directly onto the projected image. The
	-content of each slide is automatically scaled to fit the window so you don't
	-have to worry about alignment. Instead you can really concentrate on the
	-content.

	Demo

	To get a little demo, just type

	make && ./sent example

	--------------

	-Edit config.h to fit your needs. The font has to be in the X servers font path,

	Usage
	------

	- sent [-f FONTSTRING] FILE1 [FILE2 ...]
