Idea

stdlib currently offers a REPL presentation framework for authoring presentations for use directly in the REPL. This is particularly useful for creating interactive tutorials illustrating how to use stdlib functionality for data analysis and visualization from the terminal. Some functionality is missing which would be quite useful. E.g.,

• ASCII plotting
• ASCII animations
• syntax highlighting
• pretty printing tables
• speaker notes
• multiplexing
• theming

Expected Outcomes

The REPL presentation framework will have additional features similar to those in WYSIWYG presentation applications.
