Produce a standalone HTML file

To produce a single standalone output file that contains everything the viewer needs to correctly see the page do:

npx ourbigbook --embed-resources --embed-includes index.bigb

You can now just give the generated _out/html/index.html to any reader and they should be able to view it offline without installing anything. The flags are:

--embed-includes: without this, \Include[not-index] shows as a link to the file _out/html/not-index.html which comes from not-index.bigb With the flag, not-index.bigb output gets embedded into the output _out/html/index.html directly
--embed-resources: by default, we link to CSS and JavaScript that lives inside node_modules. With this flag, that CSS and JavaScript is copied inline into the document instead. One day we will try to handle images that way as well
