Tpp stands for text presentation program and is an ncurses-based presentation tool. The presentation can 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.

See /usr/share/doc/tpp/README.gz for complete list of command names, and /usr/share/doc/tpp/examples for TPP presentation examples, including presentation slides that have been in real-life presentations.

In /usr/share/doc/tpp/contrib you'll find a syntax file for the vim editor. See /usr/share/doc/tpp/README.gz for installation instructions.
