It took multiple reloads for it to work for me on Android Chrome, and was almost unreadable for a couple of minutes (MathJax processing? Tried KaTeX?) due to an enormous right margin. The margin and font(?) changed multiple times.

Is there a PDF version?

Sort of!

The document uses a JS tool called MarkDeep to convert extended MarkDown into styled HTML. Just look at the source, it's 99% plaintext Markdown.

If you read the MarkDeep docs, you'll find that it has a feature to convert the source into PDF instead. I admit I haven't tried this, though.

If it were up to me, I'd do the transform offline and just serve the static HTML instead. And sure, a link to the PDF just to be nice :)

We just serve straight from the source tree so it's not out of date :)
