HTML Sucks Completely (HSC) is a fitting name for what might be one of the first of many static site generators (SSG).

Check out this really nice approach to rendering fully static LaTeX with hugo by caching remote fetches from a quick and simple KaTeX API. Really clever — glad to see that someone tried it. Custom output formats and remote fetching at compile time are two very important features.

$ deno run --allow-net main.ts
