Command-line tool

[sebastien]

It would be great to have a command line tool to use typeset as a post-processor (bearing in mind that typeset is sometimes a reserved shell command).

Making this support usage from the command line would be straightforward. It would involve extra conditionals to accept arguments passed via the command line, but installation and usage would look something like this:

npm install -g typeset
typeset index-in.html index-out.html

I'd be happy to review a pull request if you'd like to make these modifications yourself – otherwise I'll add it to the list of things to do!

Some recommendations to make the command line tool UNIX-friendly

• use typeset-js or something similar as typeset is reserved in Bash
• support - option for stdin
• by default output to stdout

I don't have much experience with node, but that might be a fun learning experience.

Thanks @faheempatel for your pull request. I'll keep this issue open until I work out how to change the tool's name from typeset, since it's reserved.

I'd also like it accept input via stdin. Will investigate

No worries, thanks for making it :) You can change the name of the tool by changing the key here: https://github.com/davidmerfield/Typeset/blob/master/package.json#L7
