Basically I'm looking to have an HTML template

<html>
 <body>
 <script type="module">
 import CMS, { init } from '@sveltia/cms';
 init();
 </script>
 </body>
</html>

defined as entry point. And I'd like to get a single HTML file as output (and have all dependencies inlined).

With this plugin I almost achieved this with:

having to define a JS entry point, and place the script part in there
defining a tricky custom rollup.config.js which defines the HTML template and allows to inline the script
still rollup copies to the output dir the throw-away entry point script

It allows to define an HTML entry point as I wanted. But I could not figure out how to inline the script.

It would be great to have best of both worlds in the official plugin...
