What's new in TeX

Good HTML output for TeX does exist in various shapes and forms, and in fact Pandoc is one of the weaker converters out there in therms of TeX coverage.

You would get better mileage with tools such as LaTeXML[1] or TeX4HT[2], which cover very substantial subsets of TeX, if not yet 100% feature-complete.

My own take on "Should LaTeX survive on the web?" is "yes, if it evolves to meet the paradigm shift". I wrote a detailed version of that position at [3].

I cannot thank you enough for the work Bruce Miller, you and others are doing on LaTeXML.

However, LaTeXML is not 100% feature-complete at all (sorry if this is not what you were saying). For anybody not knowing how to improve LaTeXML itself (eg. by adding support for missing LaTeX packages), the only way to get it working is by using it from the beginning to avoid using anything that would not work out of the box in LaTeXML.

TeX4HT is mentioned in the article.
