    Generate HTML with client-side JavaScript markdown rendering.

    Creates self-contained HTML files that include markdown content as JavaScript data
    and render in the browser using client-side markdown parsing with marked.js.
    Supports both single files and directory processing.

    The generated HTML includes:
    • Embedded markdown content as JavaScript payload
    • Client-side rendering with marked.js from CDN
    • YAML front matter support and metadata extraction
    • Multiple responsive template options
    • Custom CSS injection capability
    • Optional instant editing capabilities with --edit flag
    • Graceful fallback if JavaScript fails

    INPUT_FILE: Path to the markdown file or directory to render

    Publication Directory:
    • Default publication directory: ~/Notes/
    • Override with MARKITECT_PUBLICATION_DIR environment variable
    • Single files: HTML generated next to MD file by default
    • Directories: HTML generated in publication directory with preserved structure

    Flags:
    • --use-publication-dir: Force single files to use publication directory
    • --dont-use-publication-dir: Force directory processing to place HTML next to MD files

    Available Templates:
    • basic (default) - Clean, minimal design with system fonts
    • github - GitHub-style appearance with heading underlines
    • academic - Academic paper style with serif fonts and justified text
    • dark - GitHub dark mode inspired theme with dark background

    Examples:
        # Single file - HTML next to MD file

    Implode a directory structure back into a single markdown file.

    Takes a directory structure (like one created by md-explode) and combines
