Tangentially, for me the stacks project is the gold standard of mathematical typography on the web. Look at this beauty: https://stacks.math.columbia.edu/tag/074J

Also check the diagrams: https://stacks.math.columbia.edu/tag/001U

If anyone can explain to me, a complete noob regarding html, how they achieve this result with html, css and whichever latex engine they use, I would be grateful. I want to make a personal webpage in this style.

It's standard MathJaX that's rendered client-side. I managed to get MathJaX + XyPic rendered server-side on my website, which is a lot nicer.
Oh, you misunderstand the level of my question; rephrased, how do maek wabpag with "MathJaX that's rendered client-side"? (o´▽`o)
Take a look at MathJax's website: https://www.mathjax.org/#gettingstarted

They have a link to JSBin which contains an easy example html page.

Thanks!
uMatrix tells me there are 8 external sites to grant permissions for access to resources. Definitely not a "beauty".
I don't understand what this has to do with typography.
