usage:
render-demo.R <demo> <package>
This utility will render the code and figures from a given package as a PDF
and place them into a directory called `<demo>-generated_files`. This requires
knitr, rmarkdown and LaTeX to be installed on your system.
Example:
render-demo.R epiflows-overview epiflows
