People in these comments keep mentioning a responsive PDF, but PDF is supposed to be a presentation format. Wouldn’t HTML and CSS serve the purpose fine?

You can't represent vector graphics, complex math, or anything non-standard in HTML+CSS. Even if you could, you couldn't rely on the user seeing it correctly.

Aren’t SVG and MathML standard in HTML5?

Interesting; I'm not sure if it counts as "in HTML5" but I see they are referenced in the spec.

It's still not something you can rely upon.
