htmlbag

Overview ¶

Package htmlbag exposes a thin Lua bridge that lets a Lua script hand an HTML payload directly to glu's HTML rendering pipeline, skipping the disk roundtrip of writing the HTML to a file just so `glu file.html` can read it back.

The intended user is something like the XSL-FO walker (boxesandglue-examples/glu/xslfo/foproc.lua), which builds HTML in memory and now calls htmlbag.render(html_str, "out.pdf") instead of writing out.html and asking the user to invoke glu a second time.
