Text presentation program
tpp <OPTIONS> <FILE>
Tpp stands for text presentation program and is an ncurses-based presentation tool. The presentation can be written with your favorite editor in a simple description format and then shown on any text terminal that is supported by ncurses - ranging from an old VT100 to the Linux framebuffer to an xterm.
It supports color, various output modes, sliding in text, command prompt, LaTeX conversion and more.
