+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl v
+.Op Ar file
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is a simple plaintext presentation tool for X. It does not need LaTeX,
+LibreOffice or any other fancy file format. Instead, it uses plaintext
+files to describe the slides, including support for images.
+.Pp
+Every paragraph represents a slide in the presentation. Especially for
+presentations using the Takahashi method this is very nice and allows
+you to write down the presentation for a quick lightning talk within a
+few minutes.

+Create individual slide containing the image pointed to by the filename
+following the
+.Sy @ .
