Here's the article rendered as html: https://ar5iv.labs.arxiv.org/html/2208.14755

(Replace the x in arxiv.org with a 5 to get there. I feel like it's working well enough in most cases, when will they start linking these from the actual arxiv article pages?)



The code is completely unreadable, gray on yellow, for me - seems like there's still work to do

That’s only in dark mode, because they use the default text color.


You must be using Dark Reader or something similar? Page is light mode, and the text darker gray by default for me.


No, I think any prefers-colour-scheme: dark triggers this.


I have Dark Reader and disabled it. It looks like what they posted. It must be a poorly implemented dark mode.


The math typesetting, while not unreadable, is annoying as well. It seems to be using a smaller x-height for math than for text.


Dark mode turned that part of the code to gray text. The default light mode is readable even if the yellow background is a little strange.


It's not like they can code their website for every custom style everyone wants to use on their browser...


Yes, but not making a mess of dark mode is worth criticizing by now.


I don't have a custom style, this is plain jane firefox


I get same on iOS/Safari with my phone in dark mode.


The code is a healthy dark color for me. Totally fine.


Anyone know what they use to convert the PDF to html here? I'm looking for a good converter and so far I've only found a few bad ones.


They aren't using the rendered PDFs. They are convering from the LaTeX sources, that you upload to arxiv with https://github.com/brucemiller/LaTeXML
