Error on line 12 of the produced unit file after wimp init:

Ignoring unknown escape sequences: "inotifywait -qmre modify -e delete --format ...
Failed to resolve unit specifiers in inotifywait -qmre modify -e delete --format ...

This already works for the compile-all functionality, but it needs to be implemented in the inotifywait executed command.

This requires adding a new flag to the inotifywait command so that it includes the type of action which is done, as well as having it watch for delete actions.

Then in the command executed by inotifywait, the type of action needs to be parsed and the corresponding action must be taken (either delete a file or compile a file).

When a link is made from one markdown file to another, it should be converted to a link between the corresponding HTML files.

The latest release removed support for custom files. The program should check to see if custom files exist and if so, use them in the pandoc conversion.

Add checks to the code to make sure that it is idempotent
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idempotence#Computer_science_meaning)

This requires:

1. Creating a file in /etc/systemd/system/wimp.service

[Unit]
Description=Run wimp website generator

[Service]
Type=simple
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=<location of script>
TimeoutStartSec=0

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

2. Then run systemctl daemon-reload
3. Finally run systemctl enable wimp.service

Pandoc outputs this everytime it converts a markdown file to html. The default title it chooses is great and I don't want the wimp to output this message everytime.

[WARNING] This document format requires a nonempty <title> element.
  Defaulting to 'File1' as the title.
  To specify a title, use 'title' in metadata or --metadata title="...".

Decide what the default behaviour should be without the use of commands. It should probably be to check if the wimp is initialised, initialise it if not, then run watch.

It would be great to check whether inotifywait is already running so that multiple conflicting instances aren't running together.

I don't know how to figure out whether a wimp is already watching a folder, though.
