Minimal plumbing to convert markdown to reveal.js and/or PDF slides.
Depends on pandoc and make. pandoc 1.11.1 or later is recommended. To generate PDFs, pdflatex is required - Get a LaTex distribution, such as TeXLive, proTeXt, or MacTeX. (BasicTeX is sufficient.)
To install an empty presentation, run ./markdown_to_reveal DEST_DIR.
This will copy reveal.js, a Makefile, and a short example presentation
to the destination.
To generate a presentation, edit slides.md (content) and/or
template.revealjs (theme and some settings), then run make html or
make pdf inside the presentation directory.
The reveal.js presentations are defined via CSS themes in
reveal_js/css/theme/, and the beamer PDF presentations are customized
via LaTeX beamer style files.
No attempt is made to connect the reveal.js-based slides' style to the LaTeX PDF slides' style, though if you want PDF slides that look like the reveal.js ones, it is possible to export reveal.js to PDF.

While having a licenese for what is essentially a short Makefile is a bit silly, it is released under the ISC license.
