Export to HTML
KERNIT exports a single self-contained HTML file with all styles embedded inline. No external dependencies — the file works offline and renders consistently across browsers.
How to export HTML
- Select a journal preset
Choose the target journal from the preset list. The HTML export reflects the typography and layout of the selected preset.
- Enter your manuscript content
Type or paste your content into the KERNIT editor. Equations, tables, and figures are all rendered in the HTML output.
- Click "Export HTML"
Click the Export HTML button. KERNIT generates a single self-contained .html file with all styles embedded inline.
- Open or share the file
Open the file in any browser, share it as an attachment, or upload it to a preprint server that accepts HTML submissions.
Use cases
Web preview
Use the HTML export to preview exactly how your paper will look in a browser before submitting. Share the file with collaborators — they can open it in any browser without installing software.
Preprint servers
Some preprint servers accept HTML submissions alongside PDF. The KERNIT HTML export uses semantic markup (article, section, figure, table elements) that is compatible with server-side processing pipelines.
Browser-based review
Reviewers can open the HTML file directly in a browser, zoom in on equations and figures, and use the browser's built-in search to navigate the document — without needing Word or a PDF reader.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does the HTML file work offline?
- Yes. All styles are embedded inline and there are no external dependencies. The file renders correctly without an internet connection.
- Can I host the HTML file on a website?
- Yes. The exported HTML file is a standalone document. Upload it to any web server or static hosting provider. No additional configuration is required.
- Are equations rendered as images or as text?
- Equations are rendered using KaTeX during export. In the HTML output, equations appear as inline SVG or MathML, which renders sharply at any zoom level and is accessible to screen readers.
- Do preprint servers accept HTML uploads?
- Some preprint servers (such as bioRxiv and ESSOAr) accept HTML submissions. Check your target preprint server's submission guidelines for accepted formats.
- Can I convert the HTML export to PDF?
- Yes. Open the HTML file in a browser and use the browser's print-to-PDF function. For best results, use Chrome or Edge which support CSS paged media features for accurate margins and page breaks.
