This paper serves as the documentation, philosophy, and implementation of a web-based typesetting platform called \LaTeX$2$HTML$5$

It's hard to say whether this is a document, paper, or web page because it's intended to be viewed on either paper or a computer, on a phone or a tablet. The concept is to communicate an idea, and to transmit information to the reader in a consistent manner, no matter which method the reader decides to consume that information (although parts are more interactive online).

It's almost impossible to go any further without the mention of Donald Knuth, arguably one of the most influential computer scientists alive today. Knuth created \TeX, which is the {\it standard de facto} for academic writing. In was using this typesetting language in which he wrote ``The Art of Computer Programming'', which is one of the largest texts on computer science available. In one of the many volumes, he writes:


\begin{quotation}
Several programs that implement the algorithms in this book can be found on the diskette that comes with the book, as well as on the WorldWideWeb. The programs are two kinds: some Maple programs and some Mathematica programs. It should be noted at once that both the individual programs and the packages in their entirety will continue to evolve after the publication of this book \cite[205]{artofcomp}.
\end{quotation}

The dichotomy of the function of an algorithm and its description interesting---the reader must go to a web site and download the functionality after reading. In today's world, we don't need diskettes with programs, we have the ability to run interpreted programs in a web browser---today, a digital version of his book could now implement the algorithms described, and perhaps as mentioned, this could be next next evolution of his text.


In this paper I present a web-based typesetting language for building interactive mathematical user interfaces and learning environments using \TeX\ as the syntax for authorship.
