presentation-toolkit

This software repository aims to provide CLI-based tools to facilitate preparation of presentations.

It differs from other alternatives since this software tries to follow the UNIX philosophy as close as possible while still allowing the end result to look nice and pleasant to the eye.

These tools work on Linux, but can be made to work on other platforms too with some or a lot of effort (depending on the tool).

All pull requests and issues welcome.

Here's a quick guide to get you started in life (try some of these out!)

Take a look at nice output images and respective input samples to continue your quick-start tour. Those are used for regression testing, but are super useful to learn to use the tools (not that they need any learning).

Is there anything else?

Yes!
