Description

       be written with your favorite editor in a simple description format and then shown on any  text  terminal
       that is supported by ncurses - ranging from an old VT100 to the Linux framebuffer to an xterm.

       It supports color, various output modes, sliding in text, command prompt, LaTeX conversion and more.
