PowerPlain - a plain-text presentation program.

Probably the best presentation program ever done.
The output looks vastly superior to that of most other presentation
programs.

The source files are plain-text with just a little bit of
syntax for headings and headers/footers.

input format: see example_presentation.pp
output format: see example_output, or use interactive mode

You'll need

• Python
• figlet http://figlet.org
• a terminal with a big enough font

Usage

powerplain MODE FILE

To try it out, do:

$ ./powerplain -i example_presentation.pp

This starts the interactive mode (switch slides by pressing return).

The other modes are:

-r  dumps rendered slides to stdout, seperated by a vertical tab
-c  checks if the presentation overflows the boundaries
    (default is 60x20)
