Description : Presentation tool that generates slideshows using a simple markup language
Pointless is a presentation tool primarily targeted at the un*x world.
Presentations are made using a simple markup-language (best described
as a mix between TeX and Pod, and affectionately known as "The Pointless
Language"). The resulting slideshow is rendered using FreeType and OpenGL
for optimal visual quality. Hardware accelerated OpenGL is highly
recommended but not required in order to run pointless.
The pointless tool is designed in an extensible way, allowing the user
to make simple presentations with minimal effort, yet providing for
more complicated presentations through the inclusion (or, if necessary,
coding) of extension modules.
