Stored Presentations

Presentations can be pre-scripted. You can create a script using the rules below and load it into Presentation Mode when prompted.

Each expressions must be on a separate line and the file must end with an end of line character. (LF or CR+LF) Later lines overwrite earlier lines.

There are three parts to this syntax:

• Properties are key-value pairs where the key and value are searated by the first equals sign (=) on the line.
• Flags can be thought of as boolean properties, where the the flag's presence can be interpreted as setting the property to true. (absence means that the property is false)
• Objects are sections that contain collections of properties and flags. The entire file can be thought of as an object, whith multiple objects inside of it. The first line of the object is the object type. All the object's contents should be indented with a single space or tab.
