Handlers

• image_handler sets a program to run to show an image. It runs program with path to the image at the end. Defaults to "prez". If set as such, it will just show [IMAGE: filename].

  Recommended:

  • imcat - Preview any size image in a terminal window.

  • img2txt - Colour ASCII Art Library.

  • sxiv - Simple X Image Viewer.

  • prez_w3m_handler - prez_w3m_handler is an experimental handler that uses w3mimgdisplay to show images in the terminal. To use it copy prez_w3m_handler to somewhere in the $PATH, and set image_handler to prez_w3m_handler.

• header_handler sets a program to run when rendering a header. It runs program with path to the image at the end. Defaults to prez. If set as such, it will render a rather ugly header with letters defined in chars.h.

  Recommended:

  • figlet - FIGlet is a program for making large letters out of ordinary text.

  • toilet - The TOIlet project attempts to create a free replacement for the FIGlet utility.

  • banner - The banner program on Unix and Unix-like operating systems outputs a large ASCII art version of the text that is supplied to it as its program arguments.

• code_handler sets a program to run when rendering code blocks. It runs program with code_tmp_fname at the end. Defaults to "prez". If set as such, it will render code with padding set to 3*padding. Also it will use code_tabsz to set tab size (defaults to 8).

  Recommended:

  • highlight - Highlight converts sourcecode to HTML, [...] and terminal escape sequences with coloured syntax highlighting.

    Recommended setting: highlight -O ansi --stdout --syntax <language>
