HTML or PDF?

[kpreid]

I'm planning to write a short introduction/quick reference to LaTeX (with a particular emphasis on “what corresponds to this HTML element?”, and actually explaining the core syntax rather than just examples of particular cases), as another page on my web site. Should I write it as HTML or LaTeX (rendered to PDF)? Using LaTeX means I can embed rendered examples without each one being an image (which I don't really want to deal with), but the result being a PDF rather than HTML means that the document would have a fixed line width, and possibly require download/be unviewable depending on the particular browser/platform/installed plugins. (It could still have hyperlinks.)

(In case you're wondering, there are several LaTeX-to-HTML conversion tools, and the last time I looked they all either didn't run, accepted a far-too-small subset of LaTeX, or produced too-low-quality or obviously broken output. I used one of them for this post and had to hand-edit black bars out of every image and trim the margins, and the antialiasing is poor.)

What would you prefer?
