Details

Normally, semestr assumes that the user will be using reveal.js, and that the slides will be installed (e.g., by using gulp sync from the directory where the slides are authored), but sometimes, especially for guest lectures, I use Powerpoint, and this lets me copy files from a main directory where I save Powerpoint slides into the /slides/ directory for the website.
