jitter newbie: displaying text from a file

hello there,

i'm working on a project of which i assume jitter could be of help. i'm fluent in max, yet have never worked with jitter. basically i'm trying to do no more than a fullscreen presentation (à la powerpoint), which displays text in a jitter matrix (screen / window?). ideally this text is somewhat styleable as for alignment, position and size. i'd like to feed this matrix from with a (local) textfile that has some kind of delimiters to determin when a new block of text within this file should be visualised.

any hints for me where to read up on this?
thanks
