    I'm currently working on a project [1] that aims to tie together a number of existing tools to make "TeX on the Web" as painless as possible. It's still in the ( very ) early stages, so there's still a number of features yet to be implemented [2]. We're also working with the CorTeX project to bring this to existing collections of scientific publications like arXiv [1] https://davidar.io/TeX.js/ [2] https://github.co…
