Could you build this?

Partial A standard React component library is easily vibe-coded, but rendering cross-platform templates that simultaneously output pixel-perfect responsive HTML compatible with archaic email clients (Outlook/Gmail tables) and strict print-spec PDF engines is notoriously difficult.

What it would actually take: Requires an intermediate universal document AST that transpiles downstream to three distinct targets: email-compliant HTML (VML, nested tables, inline styles mimicking MJML), responsive web HTML/CSS, and print-ready PDF via headless Chromium or HarfBuzz-based renderers. Maintaining parity across quirks in legacy desktop Outlook while supporting modern web component primitives requires extensive specialized email rendering engine knowledge.
