💖 pampi(1) — the pampi User Manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so like. this is the manual page for pampi, from the pampi User Manual. and no, it's not the manual for pampering yourself (though you deserve that too 🫶). it's the glow-up tool for making presentations. let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

pampi — the program that makes presentations with Markdown, Pandoc, and Impress. three icons, one slay 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pampi

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no arguments, just pampi. periodt. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

pampi is a program to create presentations with Markdown, Pandoc, and Impress. literally the friend group of software.

the whole point: your presentations are written in text files. and that is iconic, because:

  • they can be modified easily 💖 (no fighting a drag-and-drop editor at 3am)
  • the file syntax — that's Markdown — is easily learnt 🌸 (fr fr, you'll pick it up in an afternoon)
  • there are so many examples of usable Markdown waiting for you at https://enacit1.epfl.ch/markdown-pandoc 🎀

then those text files get converted into web pages (HTML files), which means:

  • one can view them with a browser 🌈
  • one can publish them online, grab them on a USB stick, etc. ✨ (the USB stick thing is giving 2009 but it still eats, ngl)

now, the interface. in PAMPI's interface, the Markdown file is displaied in the left side and on can view the result in the right side. left side = the words, right side = the moment. main character energy on both sides. 💅

and here's where it gets wild: every step of a presentation can be located in any position in a 3D space</>, bestie. a whole 3D space. so:

  • one provides its coordinates 📍
  • one can specify its zoom factor 🔍
  • one can specify rotations 🌀

it's giving "my slides live in a dimension you cannot perceive." slay.

and maths? maths can be authored with KaTeX. 🧮✨

here are many examples if you wanna go full mathematician: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Mathematics ⭐
