patat
patat (Presentations And The ANSI Terminal) 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.
Trivia
"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.
