Done. Here’s what changed:

Before: pandoc → Chrome CLI --screenshot → PNG → ImageMagick -trim → JPG
After:  pandoc → Playwright Chromium → direct JPG (exact content size)

Improvements from the Playwright rewrite:

• No ImageMagick dependency — Playwright outputs JPEG directly
• Exact content fit — document.body.scrollHeight sets viewport height precisely, no trim needed
• Font loading — wait_for_load_state("networkidle") ensures Google Fonts load before screenshot
• Cleaner pipeline — 2 steps instead of 3

Test result:

$ ww md md2jpg /tmp/test3.md
[1/2] markdown -> HTML
[2/2] HTML -> JPG (Playwright screenshot)
Done: /tmp/test3.jpg

$ file /tmp/test3.jpg
JPEG image data, 900x272, 20K   ← exact content size, no white space

Dependencies added:

• playwright>=1.40.0 in pyproject.toml
• Chromium browser installed via playwright install chromium
