Trollop gem is deprecated, replace with Optimist

See the RubyGems page: https://rubygems.org/gems/optimist

Post install message from Bundler:

Post-install message from trollop:
!    The 'trollop' gem has been deprecated and has been replaced by 'optimist'.
!    See: https://rubygems.org/gems/optimist
!    And: https://github.com/ManageIQ/optimist

Looks like Optimist is from the same authors and could be a drop in replacement.

Unable to exit the server

I ran

$ bin/deck examples

The website is showing me the following:

Errno::EISDIR at /
Is a directory - examples/

Ruby    /Volumes/Glacier/git/deck.rb/lib/deck/slide.rb: in read, line 13

I attempt to Ctrl+C and all I get is this ...

Add way to include custom JavaScript and stylesheets

I've done this in a branch here:
https://github.com/jronallo/deck.rb/tree/custom_assets

Could you make a change like this or would you accept a pull request? What would need to add/change in the linked repo for you to accept a pull request?

Can't seem to get deck to run on 1.9.3 or 1.8.7

I'm unable to get deck to run at all. Even running with the example meals.md file I get the same error.

Also same behaviour with ruby 1.8.7. Am I missing something here?

License missing from gemspec

RubyGems.org doesn't report a license for your gem. This is because it is not specified in the gemspec of your last release.

via e.g.

spec.license = 'MIT'
# or
spec.licenses = ['MIT', 'GPL-2']

Including a license in your gemspec is an easy way for rubygems.org and other tools to check how your gem is licensed. As you can image, scanning your repository for a LICENSE file or parsing the README, and then attempting to identify the license or licenses is much more difficult and more error prone. So, even for projects that already specify a license, including a license in your gemspec is a good practice. See, for example, how rubygems.org uses the gemspec to display the rails gem license.

There is even a License Finder gem to help companies/individuals ensure all gems they use meet their licensing needs. This tool depends on license information being available in the gemspec. This is an important enough issue that even Bundler now generates gems with a default 'MIT' license.

I hope you'll consider specifying a license in your gemspec. If not, please just close the issue with a nice message. In either case, I'll follow up. Thanks for your time!

Appendix:

If you need help choosing a license (sorry, I haven't checked your readme or looked for a license file), GitHub has created a license picker tool. Code without a license specified defaults to 'All rights reserved'-- denying others all rights to use of the code.
Here's a list of the license names I've found and their frequencies

p.s. In case you're wondering how I found you and why I made this issue, it's because I'm collecting stats on gems (I was originally looking for download data) and decided to collect license metadata,too, and make issues for gemspecs not specifying a license as a public service :). See the previous link or my blog post aobut this project for more information.

change doctype to html

Would it be possible to update the doctype to HTML5? Right now the output is XHTML, which means that my pages do not validate since they use some of the new elements.
