Display a map with MLT

Replicates the MapLibre example Display a map with MLT. MapLibre Tiles (MLT) once needed a plugin registered before the map started. maplibre-gl now decodes them natively, and a tileset says it is MLT in its own TileJSON ("encoding": "mlt"). So an MLT basemap is just a style URL — no JavaScript left.

What to notice

• Needs a maplibre-gl version with built-in MLT decoding (the docs site runs 5.24).
• No hermetic twin: there is no local MLT tileset to stand in honestly; the live docs sweep covers this page.
