* right to left and mixed typesetting
* PDF/UA-2 (tagged PDF 2.0)
* inline images (width depending on outer constraints)
* CMYK CSS support
* repeating table foot
* CSS attr() function

Busy (long) weekend: written a post on GitHub actions and glu: https://boxesandglue.dev/news/2026-05-glu-github-action/

Also updated glu to v0.0.19 and added some more examples at

#PrintCSS #WebToPrint

I got fed up fighting with LaTeX and started using #printcss via #weasyprint. Highly recommended if you care about typesetting but hate dealing with a klugey clusterfuck of document types and dependencies.

Are there any #printcss folks out there interested in spinning up a Dropcaps or other #typography sample using @pagedjs for use on Polytype? https://polytype.dev/dropcaps/

I have the tooling spun up, see e.g. the hello world sample: https://polytype.dev/hello-world/#pagedjs

All we need is some expertise in the idiomatic way to handle the HTML/CSS. PRs welcome here: https://github.com/alerque/polytype
