In liteformats: Lightweight Output Formats for 'litedown'

liteformats 0.1.0

New features

• Added resume() and cover_letter() formats for self-contained HTML and direct PDF output through a Chromium-based browser (#1).
• Added use_resume() and use_cover_letter() starter documents based on reusable Markdown content and packaged HTML, CSS, and pages.js assets.
• Added flexible controls for paper size, margins, spacing, link color, ligatures, font scaling, local font embedding, and opt-in Google Fonts.

Testing

• Added testit coverage for starter creation, option handling, HTML rendering, font embedding, pagination, and PDF dispatch.

Documentation

• Added a README quick start and a litedown-built vignette covering formats, typography, ATS considerations, semantic resume entries, and Makefile automation.
• Documented complete, matching HTML and PDF calls for both resume and cover letter starters.

Maintenance

• Vendored the MIT-licensed pages.js runtime for offline builds and added a maintainer script that refreshes it from the upstream source archive.
• Credited the author and copyright holder of the bundled pages.js assets in Authors@R, and documented template styling lessons for maintainers.
