Description

This may sounds like a silly feature request but it may be interesting to export a markdown file using MacDown via command line. It might be useful to automatically render a lot of files.

``` shell
macdown -e file.html --css GitHub2 file.md
```

Research direction

The issue does not name files or tests. Start by locating MacDown’s command-line entry point and Markdown export pipeline, then determine how the proposed `macdown -e file.html --css GitHub2 file.md` invocation should integrate with them. Done means command-line export works for the requested input and CSS options, with coverage for the resulting output.
