## Description

Reveal-md is a command-line tool that transforms Markdown files into interactive, web-based slide decks using the reveal.js framework. It functions as a comprehensive presentation generator, providing an integrated environment for authoring, previewing, and distributing structured slide content.

The tool distinguishes itself through a robust development workflow that includes a local server with live reloading, allowing for real-time visual feedback as source files are modified. It supports advanced content customization through metadata-driven configuration, enabling users to define slide hierarchies, inject custom assets, and apply specific themes or layout styles to individual slides.

Beyond basic presentation creation, the system includes specialized capabilities for technical documentation, such as syntax highlighting for code blocks and the rendering of text-based diagrams. It also provides flexible output options, including the ability to export presentations as standalone static HTML sites for web hosting or as high-fidelity PDF documents generated via a headless browser.
