"""mdbook preprocessor which will help show the presentation aspect ratio.

The preprocessor adds a large red rectangle on every page. The
rectangle has an aspect ratio of 16 to 8.5, meaning that it is
slightly smaller than a standard 16/9 monitor.

The idea is that this approximates what the course participants can
see at once during a class. This in turn will help you estimate when
the slides are too large to be seen without scrolling.

Enable it in book.toml.
