Smarter PDF export #29
Description
Currently the only entry point for CLI is the index.html. In my case I often have multiple versions of my slides:
andersen.html
codefest.html
fwdays.html
yandex.html
It would be good if CLI could do the following:
- Look for
*.(html|htm)file in the root - If there’s only one found, just print PDF with the name of this file:
index.pdf, notpresentation.pdflike it does right now. You don’t expect presentation name because you don’t use it anywhere. - If there are multiple files, list all of them and ask which one to print, just like it does for the themes.
@nikolay-govorov what do you think?

Hey. Sorry for the long answer.
Why such a hard workflow? Isn't it easier to count all
/*.(htm|html)files of the presentation entry points? Then callingshower pdfwill just turn all the entry points into PDF file.pepelsbey commentedon May 2, 2019
When I run
shower pdfI want to export a single file, not every HTML file available. There might be a demo file or something else. To be able to print exactly what I need, I’d love to see something like:shower pdfbehavior would be similar tonpm runone, where it lists all available options instead of running all of them.mrdimidium commentedon May 2, 2019
Sounds good, we'll do it
