Whoa this is weird timing - just this weekend I did a little exploration of using Svelte to create documents and eventually PDFs.

Its really just a proof of concept at this point, but it might be of interest to you (and others).

TLDR - I've been using Asciidoc a lot at work recently and was dissatisfied with it. This was an attempt at using Svelte to generate a document as a webpage that formats well when printed (or printed to PDF). All the power of HTML+CSS+JS when you want it, but the ease of use to just write markdown when you don't.
