Slides
slides is a simple program to create postscript slides
from simple text files. slides is written in Go,
and requires a Go compiler (and no more) to be built using
the default build mechanism.

Slides Format
Each slide is described by a series of consequtive, non-empty,
lines. Lines starting with # are comments, and will be
ignored, while lines with // are escaped lines, which will
be printed verbatim. Each line is displayed as such, and
will not be reflowed.
Comments are either just text or "command comments", designated
with an extra + after the #. These can be used to set fonts
or text sizes. All commands are listed and explained in
this introductory article to slides.
Usage
slides either reads it's file from standard input, or the first
command line argument, if given. A postscript definition of all
slides is then printed to the standard output.
Asuming my-talk.sl contains the contents of a presentation,
which one would like to convert to a PostScript file, one can run
$ slides my-talk.sl > my-talk.ps
or if one wants a PDF version of the same slides, then
$ slides my-talk.sl | ps2pdf - my-talk.pdf
to generate these. This of course requires the ps2pdf programm
to be installed, from the GhostScript package.
