`patat` (**P**resentations **A**nd **T**he **A**NSI **T**erminal) is a small
|
|
|
|
|
tool that allows you to show presentations using only an ANSI terminal. It does
|
|
|
|
|
not require `ncurses`.

`patat` is written in [Haskell] and built upon the great [Pandoc] library. This
|
|
|
|
|
means it is not limited to Markdown, but it supports basically every input
|
|
|
|
|
format that Pandoc supports.

_"Patat"_ is the Flemish word for a simple potato. Dutch people also use it to
|
|
|
|
|
refer to French Fries but I don't really do that -- in Belgium we just call
|
|
|
|
|
fries _"Frieten"_.

The idea of `patat` is largely based upon [MDP] which is in turn based upon
|
|
|
|
|
[VTMC]. I wanted to write a clone using Pandoc because I ran into a markdown
|
|
|
|
|
parsing bug in MDP which I could not work around. A second reason to do a
|
|
|
|
|
Pandoc-based tool was that I would be able to use [Literate Haskell] as well.
|
|
|
|
|
Lastly I also prefer not to install Node.js on my machine if I can avoid it.
