[IPOL discuss] Corrections of erratas: the Scholarpedia method

Well, it was online this morning... Nothing in archive.org either.

It is also my intuition, and seems confirmed by the recent author
survey (results sent on this list soon). I think the feasability only
depends on how reliable a LaTeX->HTML can be, and how much of the
LaTeX functions we must give up to have a reliable conversion to
HTML.

I don't think we will have a good generic LaTeX->HTML converter
anytime sool, it is a really complex and ill-posed problem. But we may
have a good conversion from a limited subset of LaTeX. I know Rafael &
Loic have been testing different tools, we will probably hear about it
in the next weeks.
