Background

Earlier sections note that LaTeX was designed for print/PDF and is ill-suited to producing HTML, which impacts accessibility and readability on small screens. The authors currently generate HTML only for metadata, abstracts, and references, and mention that full LaTeX-to-HTML conversion efforts remain experimental.

In Future directions, they emphasize the desirability of producing full, high-quality HTML automatically from LaTeX and observe that multiple groups have attempted this; nevertheless, achieving a robust, automated pipeline remains unresolved.

References

As we mentioned in section~\ref{future}, it would be very desirable to have high-quality HTML output produced automatically from the author's \LaTeX\ source. Several groups have tackled this, but it remains an open problem.
