Automated Reveal.js

reveal.js + external markdown mixed with some bash awesomeness to automated routine presentation tasks

Requirements

1. a copy of reveal.js git repository from https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/ (Location to be marked as BASE) (it is assumed that $BASE/reveal.js will contain git clone of reveal.js)
2. Chrome / Chromium browser as its --app feature is extensively used.
3. a centeral directory to keep reusable resources such as images marked in RESOURCES (optional to keep images there)
4. a index.html to be placed as template in $BASE which will contain a #markdownfilename# which will be replaced with acutal markdown filename at setup time.
5. python 2.7 is what is used to test this. if you are using python 3 then you need to modify python simplehttpserver command (2 places in whole script)
