Can you just archive computer code?<br>
An image still requires a dictionary and interpretation in the conetmporary<br>
language although "English" is probably more stable than a dvi viewer lol.<br>

Hi Jonathan,<br>

<br>
PDF is *archive ready*. In fact, it is better than HTML for archival<br>
purposes, since HTML depends on the interpretation of the engine.<br>
Furthermore, we are working on good solutions for HTML conversion<br>
(LaTeXML), see recent improvements and provision of HTML formats at<br>
arXiv.<br>

<br>
Archiving is not depending on having *multiple* formats.<br>
<br>

<br>
LaTeXML has a very high conversion success on the arXiv corpus of about<br>
2.4M articles.<br>
<br>
I am VERY sure that LaTeXML does have not the slightest problem<br>
converting legal documents (because I know where the problems are).<br>
<br>
So, what do you suggest?<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
<br>
