Method to turn LaTeX documents into HTML pages which may be of future use #29

Open justinGilmer opened 6 years ago

Just a really neat repository for converting LaTeX docs into pretty impressive looking HTML pages.

Not entirely useful for this journal, but could be nice to keep in mind.

https://github.com/arxiv-vanity/engrafo Could also generate HTML pages in addition to pdf.

This could be handy for authors who want to make websites in addition.

Not sure what we should do with this info though; I'm not convinced the issue tracker is the right place for it. Maybe we should have a markdown file here which provides links to other tools which might be of use? Thoughts?

In the long run, it would be a good idea to have full-text HTML available somehow. My reason being that scrapers fail spectacularly on PDF documents.

Well, it might be better to use pandoc or even org-mode exporter with an appropriate set of stylesheets, mostly because they allow easier fine tuned control without resorting to using XML [engrafo is based on LaTeXML].

davidlmobley commented 6 years ago

I've heard pandoc mentioned a number of times; have you used it, @HaoZeke ?

HaoZeke commented 6 years ago

Yup @davidlmobley. In fact I've used it as the basis of many documentation setups, including zenYoda, docuYoda and a site with proper math formatting. For seeing how a document might be structured in markdown you can check this report and it's pdf output.

Thanks, @HaoZeke !!
