@node Overview
@chapter Overview

@command{rq} displays a plain-text word-by-word in the middle
of the terminal. Words are automatically paged in a
specifiable rate, by default 2 words per second.
This is a bit slow, you should turn it up when
gradually until your performance has been optimised.
Repeated words will be indicated by alternating reverse
video highlighting.

Escape sequences are printed as-is.

@command{rq} uses a method called rapid serial visual
presentation.

@command{rq} optionally takes the name of the file to

@command{rq} does not recognise any options.

The word rate is configured via the environment
variable @env{RQ_RATE}. It should be a positive
