I've converted a couple of interactive simulations to HTML5 and they worked and
performed surprisingly well (once I'd removed and coded around a few wait
statements). Multiple cards are fine but I haven't tried switching between
stacks. Text display isn't that great out of the box but that shouldn't be too
much of an issue unless you have pretty strict formatting requirements (you can
load fonts but I'm not sure whether it's worth the trouble). The biggest
drawback for me has been around networking but that seems to have been
substantially improved in recent releases (I haven't had a chance to explore
these yet).
It's certainly worth a quick try of exporting an existing stack with LC
community and seeing what works and what doesn't to get a sense of whether a
full on conversion is warranted.

I've been asked if I can convert a stack to HTML5, which I haven't
worked with yet. I'd like to know, in general, what can be done and what
can't. What are the limitations?
The examples I've seen are mostly basic, usually just a one-card stack
with image or graphic manipulations. I'm also aware of the fairly long
initial load time, though I guess that's been cut back a bit. The stack
I will be working with will require many cards, navigation, and possibly
changing stacks (probably in the same window.)
What else would I need to consider?
