Hi Chris,

Thanks for reporting this.

check.

Not sure about this one. It's possible to pipe files and other stuff into
w2b:

zsh» cat bar
'''bar'''
zsh» echo "''foo''" | ./wiki2beamer bar


\emph{foo}
\textbf{bar}

I have changed the doc to:

If called without any input file, wiki2beamer will still read input from
STDIN. If called with multiple input files, wiki2beamer reads and
processes them in order with their content being simply concatenated.
If no input files are supplied, and nothing is available on STDIN,
wiki2beamer prints its usage message and exits.

But in a sense you are right. If you call wiki2beamer, and nothing is
available on STDIN it will bail out. Other programs will wait for input
from the user. Do you think the above amendment makes it clear what
happens or how the tool behaves? If you have an alternative suggestion,
i'd be happy to include that. ;)

I have commited both:
