<b>md2slidy</b> allows one to conveniently compose a W3C Slidy presentation in plain Markdown. It's an Embedded Ruby file (.erb) which reads Markdown from the standard input and writes HTML to the standard output.

<pre>
  # Example:
  $ erb md2slidy.erb < CS100_Lecture1.md > CS100_Lecture1.html
</pre>

Slides are separated in the Markdown by writing a blank line, three exclamation marks, then another blank line.

<pre>
# The cover slide is taken care of automatically

## My Name

### The Date

!!!

# What to expect from this course

* Stuff
* Things
* FooBarBazQuux
</pre>

That's all there is to it, really.
