Description

Hello,

This is more of a curiosity / exploratory question: Can webcomponents be used with openhtmltopdf ? Would it make sense to use web components with openhtmltopdf?

Idea:
Webcomponents allow users to register custom html elements. I imagine that using such elements, might be a good thing to provide specialized components for rendering special PDF elements: e.g. instead of having complex structures with div's + css + more stuff we could use a single custom element that openhtmltopdf will know about and render properly.

I think that it kind of make sense to develop such custom elements specifically for PDF rendering.

I am bringing this out since the specification for web components is out and starting to mature / be supported across all browsers.

WDYT?
