Presentation sidebar
--------------------
A simple python script to generate HTML slides. When giving a
presentation on a software, a full screen presentation can be
annoying. You will have to switch between the program and your
presentation often. It would be better if the presentation occupies
only one-fourth of the screen. Presentation sidebar does exactly
that. You can open the generated HTML slides in a broswer and resize
your browser window so that it occupies only one-fourth of the screen.

Tutorial
--------
To generate a presentation you will have to create one presentation
file and one or more slide files. These are all text files and can be
created using your favourite editor.

Format of the presentation file
-------------------------------
The first line of the presentation file specifies the title of the
presentation. The rest of the lines specify the filenames of the
slides in the order they have to be displayed.

Format of the slide file
------------------------
The first line of the slide file specifies the title of the slide. The
rest of the lines can be any html code that can appear in the body of
a html file. But usually you would want to use only the ordered-list,
unordered-list, and images.

After you have created the required files you can generate your
presentation as

$ sidebar pres

Where pres is your presentation file name.

Viewing your presenation
------------------------
If you had executed the above command a file called pres.html would
have been generated. When you open this with your broswer, the list of
slides in the presentation will be displayed. Select the first slide
to start your presentation.

Every slide has a navigation bar which specifies the title of the
presentation, a left arrow and a right arrow. Clicking on the left and
right arrows takes you to previous and next slides
respectively. Clicking on the title will take you to the list of
slides in your presentation.
