Use either --html or --html-file, not both

Error message

Use either --html or --html-file, not both

What it means

HTML may be supplied either inline (--html) or from a file (--html-file), but not both. After parsing, if both options are set the script throws rather than guessing precedence.

Solutions

1. Remove one of the two flags.
2. Use --html-file when the content is large, --html for short inline snippets.

Example fix

# before
bun .../index.mjs --html '<div/>' --html-file page.html
# after
bun .../index.mjs --html-file page.html

if (options.html !== undefined && options.htmlFile !== undefined) {
  throw new Error('Use either --html or --html-file, not both')
}

When it happens

Trigger: Passing `--html '<code>' --html-file path.html` together in one invocation.

Common situations: Leftover flags from a previous run pasted back in; a wrapper script appends a default --html while the user also passes --html-file.
