[1/2] Die zweite Präsentation bleibt beim Thema Barrierefreiheit und Ulrike Fischer zeigt einige unterschiedlichen Varianten um #TeXLaTeX nach #HTML zu wandeln.
Ein Ansatz, den ich zum Beispiel für das frühere Backend der @datenschleuder umgesetzt hatte, um epub mitzuliefern.
Es wird #tex4ht, #Pandoc, #LaTeXML, #lwarp und auch der Weg via #NGPDF (HTML aus den #TaggedPDF) gezeigt und verglichen.
The Journal of Machine Learning for Biomedical Imaging (MELBA) is launching HTML previews for its articles, based on LaTeXML.
The journal leverages arXiv for hosting, and Scholastica for submission.

#LaTeXML is pretty cool. 
LaTeXML 0.8.8 was just released!
support for tikz-cd upgraded subfigure HTML model refinements to MathML Core better TeX emulation (
in details) refinements for 35+ LaTeX packages
NIST tool will make math-heavy research papers easier to view online
"Not only will the change help the scientific community adhere to the White House’s updated policy [...], but it will also make information accessible to young scientists [...]"
Curious surprise!
Grobid has started using LaTeXML for processing LaTeX inputs (I think just recently), as part of its TEI-based pipeline.
Details at:
https://grobid.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Principles/
It is neat to see MetaAI using LaTeXML productively for arXiv preprocessing in their Nougat OCR work.
Good discussion in "5.2 Text modalities": there is indeed a lot of hidden complexity when recovering TeX input strings.
Rather tempting to wish for a way to normalize to "canonical" expressions...

This lovely open access book is also distributed as MathML-native HTML and (to my surprise!) with some help from LaTeXML.
"Artificial Intelligence 3E: foundations of computational agents",
by David L. Poole & Alan K. Mackworth
Richard Zach announces today that their book:
"forall x: Calgary. An Introduction to Formal Logic"
is now available as accessible HTML, via #LaTeXML and #BookML

A common story:
"Nothing really worked perfectly – #LaTeXML looks great, but is still a little complicated.
So, I [...] recreated the table as a machine-readable YAML file which is transformed to TeX and HTML by using respective templates with Jinja."

Currently experimenting with adapting the @pandoc output from #Markdown to #HTML to work with the awesome #CSS built for #arxiv by @dginev. I could also use #pandoc to convert to #LaTeX and then use #LaTeXML through their https://github.com/dginev/ar5ivist tool for #arxiv but why the round-trip? The changes are yet incomplete as not all font things are adjusted and right now all footnotes are represented through the same symbol. Yet, I'm quite happy with the intermediate results :-)
This gives me reactive footnotes, either in the margins (almost #Tufte style) or through hovering, nicer link highlighting, quite acceptably justified text (I'm surprised how far the web has come). I didn't yet tweak the fonts further and I want to keep my code indented.
Left: Run through pandoc with custom HTML template & some #Lua filters
Right: Current state as seen on https://ljrk.codeberg.page/unixv6-alloc.html produced with a minimalist CSS stylesheet I stole from somewhere.
#introduction Hi everyone, Deyan here!
I tend to discuss the journey of converting #arXiv into #ar5iv: an HTML5 preview site for the world's largest preprint server.
I'm helping to develop the next generation of #latexml and #mathml, focusing on the most idiosyncratic corners of #LaTeX and math syntax.
And you'll see the occasional AI art / Large language model experiment flying by as well...
