Description

All of the following seems annoying to have to maintain in my source file:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<script src="https://bterlson.github.io/ecmarkup/ecmarkup.js" defer></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://bterlson.github.io/ecmarkup/elements.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/8.4/styles/solarized_light.min.css">

Should Ecmarkup generate these for me? It already generates <title> I noticed.

I guess it kind of gets away from the custom elements idea. (A custom element could generate the script and link elements, but doctype and meta charset would need to stay.)

Research direction

Start by reviewing Ecmarkup's existing title generation and the generated document structure, then compare the requested doctype, charset, script, and stylesheet elements. Determine how this interacts with the custom-elements approach. Done means the intended elements are generated consistently and the required source-file behavior is documented or tested.
