Add a simple way to compile already existing Sozi project through CLI #715

Hello and Bonjour,

I am trying to deploy some of my Sozi presentations through DevOps. Good practice implies that I should not add the HTML file to my versioning, only the SVG and the JSON.

I think it would be amazing to include a way to export a project through CLI, a command such as sozi --export my-awesome-presentation.svg, that simply checks if my-awesome-presentation.json exists, and if so creates my-awesome-presentation.html.

I know there is a list of deprecated sozi-to-xxx functions, I'm not implying this project should be resurrected; I just think it would be nice to have a way to automate the creation of Sozi presentation files, whether it is part of the same project or an ad-hoc one.

My current workaround is to version the HTML file, which is making me sad as it is a generated file. Yes, I am sad, that's terrible.

So, what do you think, users (and devs), is there a general need for such a feature or am I the only one?

Spendid day to you all!
