presenterm is a Rust-based CLI application that renders Markdown presentations directly in the terminal. It parses Markdown into a structured intermediate representation via comrak, then builds slides as sequences of render operations. The rendering engine supports rich text, images, code highlighting through bat/syntect, column layouts, themes, slide transitions, footers, speaker notes, and interactive keyboard-driven navigation. It also includes PDF/HTML export backends and hot-reload for live presentation development.

The LLM identified 5 files worth highlighting for reuse:

Implements a virtual terminal buffer that can be used for testing rendering logic and generating transition frames without requiring a real terminal device. It provides a clean abstraction over terminal cells and can be extracted for any terminal-rendering test harness.

file: src/terminal/virt.rs ↗ | tags: #virtual-terminal #testing #rendering-abstraction

Implements the Kitty graphics protocol with support for local and remote terminals, animated GIFs, and tmux compatibility. The protocol logic is isolated behind a trait and demonstrates non-obvious handling of terminal escape sequences and state management, making it a reusable reference implementation for terminal image protocols.

file: src/terminal/image/protocols/kitty.rs ↗ | tags: #protocol-implementation #image-rendering #terminal-compatibility

Provides a dedicated worker pool for running third-party renderers (Typst, LaTeX, Mermaid, D2) in background threads with a condvar-based job queue and result caching. The pool pattern is generic enough to be extracted for other external-process orchestration scenarios where concurrent rendering or compilation jobs are needed.

file: src/third_party.rs ↗ | tags: #worker-pool #async-rendering #condvar-queue

Parses and matches configurable multi-key keyboard sequences, including number capture and modifier combinations, into command actions. The parsing logic is self-contained and could be reused in any terminal application requiring user-configurable key bindings with sequence support.

file: src/commands/keyboard.rs ↗ | tags: #command-pattern #key-parsing #input-handling

Scales images to terminal cell dimensions and maps pixel brightness to ASCII/Unicode block characters. The algorithm is isolated and demonstrates a reusable approach for converting raster images into terminal-compatible character output while preserving aspect ratio and layout boundaries.

file: src/render/ascii_scaler.rs ↗ | tags: #image-scaling #ascii-art #unicode-aware
