✨ MGPEMBED ✨

okay so bestie, let me put you onto mgpembed — it's the MagicPoint embedder, and it literally exists to make your slides portable. it's giving "i made a presentation and i want to send it to people without it falling apart" 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mgpembed [-o outfile] mgpfile

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea 🫖 — mgpembed is a converter. it takes a MagicPoint file, mgpfile, and turns it into an embedded MagicPoint file.

and why would you want that? because an embedded MagicPoint file is the one you can actually hand off to other people — like, over Email, or over the Web 🌈 — without everything breaking. the reason is that external references get resolved (except shell commands, those stay as they are, no cap). so all your outside stuff gets pulled in and made self-contained. iconic behaviour honestly.

the -o option lets you say where the output goes — it specifies that the output will be saved to outfile. and if you don't pass -o? then it just goes to the standard output. periodt ✨
