ArXiv now offers papers in HTML format
This is the reason I've never liked LaTeX from a data point view. It's made to be printed out or get to look beautiful on a PDF but was never designed to get you to a HTML file or a Word file.
I've written my thesis in Markdown in the past because of this (best for humans) which can be easily transformed to HTML, Word, PDF and even LaTeX https://github.com/tompollard/phd_thesis_markdown
And I think that XML is the best format for machines.

Ask HN: What are you surprised isn’t being worked on more?
Markdown for academic papers. We have this https://github.com/tompollard/phd_thesis_markdown (which is the best template I know and on a personal note I've written my thesis with that too) but the whole ecosystem can be still improved.

Help with dissertation writing in Scrivener (Chicago format)
I'm a graduate student who's trying to beat the dissertation submission deadline by attempting to speed the writing process up by using Scrivener. I've got a really exciting research topic, but I'm super overwhelmed by the technical side of things like setting up the right formatting style and importing citations and bibliography from Zotero.I could not, for the life of me, figure out how to correctly use markdown as Scrivener also has styles and is essentially a WISIWYG text editor. Granted, I had never used markdown before, but I'd thought I'd be able to master it on the go. Nope. Instead, I wasted hours upon hours trying to get systems like Scrivomatic and Scrivener for Scientific Writing to work. It bore zero fruit. Some scripts gave mysterious error messages at random. Results compiled in Scrivener using Pandoc were just utter trash with misplaced headings and incorrect formatting. Installation of Zotpick (a shortcut for quickly copying references from Zotero) succeeded, but then it just didn't work (looks like the project has got outdated). Every attempt to get things under control spiraled into yet another rabbit hole.
