Tracking HTML Output

[Qyriad]

The README mentions HTML output as planned, so I thought to collect some information on the state of Typst and HTML output here:

• Upstream Typst is planning and tracking HTML output at Output HTML typst/typst#114, though without any timeline
• Pandoc has partial support for reading Typst (https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#general-options), but e.g. non-trivial math simply fails and renders as TeX
• A PR to Typst was opened for outputting to Pandoc at Implement pandoc output (and thus indirectly Markdown, HTML, ePub, docx output) typst/typst#461, but the author decided that either implementing Typst reading on the Pandoc side or native HTML output for Typst were better ideas
• Progress for a Typst Pandoc reader is being tracked at typst reader jgm/pandoc#8740 and is in progress. It seems like any Pandoc-based route will incur lossy conversion, but existing work is enough to compile non-trivial Typst documents to HTML

I think this could help

Recently SVG export has been merged into Typst's master branch, the next release will include SVG export. I know its not HTML but its better than using a canvas.

For math blocks, this may also be relevant:

Seems like it allows rendering directly to HTML elements fairly conveniently.

For completeness, the correct upstream issue is now typst/typst#721.
