feature: embedded instagram posts about md-to-pdf

[simonhaenisch]

Two ideas to solve this without having to do any changes to md-to-pdf:

• a custom .js script that does the embedding within the page which you either set with the script config, or add to the end of the markdown content (you can just add <script> tag in the markdown); any sync handlers that you attach to the load or DOMContentLoaded event would automatically be awaited; if it's async with network requests, i think it should also work because of this:
  

  md-to-pdf/src/lib/generate-output.ts

  Line 98 in 9ab307b

  page.waitForNavigation({ waitUntil: 'networkidle0' }),

• set a custom Marked renderer (https://marked.js.org/using_pro#renderer) to do the transformation, e.g. overwrite the link method, sth like:

const renderer = {
  link(string href, string title, string text) {
    const url = new URL(href)

    if (url.hostname === 'instagram.com') {
      // do sth fancy here that returns html to embed the post, could even fetch the html content here
      return <div>...</div>
    }

    return false // default renderer kicks in
  }
}

For the latter one it would be really useful to finally finish the stuff around the marked.use API, i.e. allowing to configure Marked plugins/extensions via the config, which is mainly about finishing #228 and #140. Sadly I didn't really find any time to work on it (I also don't have any sponsors for this project so it's hard for me to justify spending much time on it).

Ok, i'll have a dig around and see if I can locate a suitable renderer, i.e. option 2.
Save that, I can come up with a custom script i.e. option 1... there isn't any mention of a script config entry in the docs, maybe there should be?
Also, a template for such a script would be useful, if I go with 1, maybe I can provide this

You're right, it's missing from the docs, but it's there in the types:

md-to-pdf/src/lib/config.ts

Lines 85 to 90 in 95502c5

	/**
	* List of scripts to load into the page.
	*
	* @see https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/main/docs/api.md#pageaddscripttagoptions
	*/
	script: FrameAddScriptTagOptions[];

Using --script flag should also work (same as --stylesheet/stylesheet option).
