Well played 👍
Nicely done!
Oh wow Matt! I found this script again today and realized that you were one of my instructors at SciPy last summer! We talked and had some drinks at Blue Owl Brewery—they were playing bingo :)
Nice, thank you!

This is an excellent script and works great with text! Is there a way to embed images to the html file that are linked in the markdown document?
