Swap out slidev for some rust-based tool #99

Open hdoordt opened 5 months ago

Currently, modmod builds a NodeJS package that uses Slidev to create slideshows out of markdown files. Being a Rust course, it would be nice to depend only on Rust-based tooling, and therefore swap out Slidev for something Rust based.

What we need in a tool:

Convert Markdown slides to slideshow
Include Markdown files in other Mardown files
Support custom themes
Be open source (MIT Licensed)
Support presenter mode
Render to HTML
