πŸ“’ arXiv just landed HTML articles!

Try them out, report issues you run into, and expect a gradual process for increasing coverage.

They're starting small - HTML for new articles only.

That complements today's ar5iv nicely, which lags 1 month behind.

@dginev that's amazing...and only, like, 20 years overdue!

(Seriously, 20 years ago we had reasonable enough HTML rendering for LaTeX; they could have had something like this back in my grad school days. But better late than never!)

@ddrake Better late than never is right!

Also, HTML in 2023 is a tiny bit better than it used to be back then. I have a classic arXiv submission that was deposited as raw HTML way back when, quite the difference:

@dginev @ddrake I wish lualatex support with unicode will land soon too πŸ™‚
@dimpase @ddrake And I wish lualatex offered an easy path to HTML ...
@dginev @ddrake have you looked at ConTeXt/LuaMetaTeX (lmtx ?) ?
@dimpase @ddrake A little. I have the same wish for them too...
