I was thinking use a lower-level interface to the screen bitmap in the browser such that it would render directly. In other words, don’t convert, make LaTeX a first-class MIME Content-Type.
This<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Style_Semantics_and_Specification_Language> was a nice design. A statically typed version would have been even better. XSL was the right idea, but a strange execution. Should have just used a functional programming language, like this<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/HaXml>. Building a good set of multi-target (page) flow objects is an enormous job, like making a PDF implementation or a XML/HTML browser engine. One could always wrap LaTeX in a statically typed language to make it better behaved, e.g. HaTeX<hackage.haskell.org/package/HaTeX>. Which is about how I feel about LaTeX. ☺ Marcus From: Friam [mailto:friam-boun...@redfish.com] On Behalf Of Barry MacKichan Sent: Tuesday, October 20, 2015 10:22 AM To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group <friam@redfish.com> Subject: Re: [FRIAM] [EXTERNAL] Static Site Generator Interesting, but why not build the site in PDF (possibly with alternative versions for desktops and mobiles)?

Obviously you didn't use latex2html for this. Did you use latexml? I've used latexml as part of a kindle conversion process that goes via epub.
