Assets

Place static files in a template’s assets/ directory. They are served to the browser at render time and referenced from the body template with a relative ./assets/ (or assets/) path.

invoice/
  template.html
  assets/
    styles.css
    logo.svg
    fonts/Inter.woff2

<link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/styles.css">
<img src="assets/logo.svg" alt="logo">

Reference vs. inline

You can either reference an asset by URL (above) or inline it into the HTML with the embed helpers (embed_text, embed_base64). Inlining avoids extra fetches and keeps the document self-contained:

<style>{{embed_text "styles.css"}}</style>
<img src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,{{embed_base64 "logo.svg"}}">

Notes

• Assets are available to the body only — not to header/footer templates.
• Fonts placed in assets/ and referenced via @font-face render correctly in the PDF (a common reason to prefer web fonts over system fonts).
• Asset paths are resolved within the template directory; path traversal outside it is not permitted.

See the assets_template, embed_assets, and iframe examples in the Gallery.
