	"description": "Example package.json File",
	"main": "index.js",
	"author": "Joe Schmoe",
	"license": "ISC",
	"grayson": {
		"input": "./md",

			"stylesheets": [
				"reset.css",
				"debug.css",
				"main.css"

}

Additionally, any options passed in via the command-line, overwrite options passed in via package.json.

Modes

Pages

Grayson's default mode presumes input will be a directory path to multiple MD files, and will generate one HTML file per MD file in the target directory. If a single MD file is given as input, Grayson will still generate one HTML file per MD file in the given directory. Each HTML file is prepended with a <nav> element, hyperlinked to all other generated HTML output.

Blog

If the --mode option is set to "blog", an additional index.html file will be generated (if none already exists), with a <nav> element.

Slides

If the --mode option is set to "slides", all MD files are concatenated into a single HTML file, housed in individual .slide containers. No <nav> element is prepended to the generated document.
