Create a web browser based slide show from extremely simple markup. Have a new slide show ready in seconds!
This is pretty much a go clone of sent from suckless.org (https://tools.suckless.org/sent/) for the browser instead of X11.
It also serves as a way for me to try out lexing/parsing in Go. The lexer is based on Rob Pike's talk "Lexical Scanning in Go" (youtube) and a lot of the methods are almost direct copies of the template/parse package.
go get -u github.com/prodhe/slides
slides filename.txt
If no filename is given, standard input is read.

Usage of slides:
-p string

Keyboard shortcuts:
Right/Down/Space/Left click moves to the next slide.
Left/Up moves to the previous slide.
f cycles through current font: monospace, sans-serif and serif.
