## What it is
A JavaScript port of TeX Live 2016 that compiles LaTeX code entirely in the browser using an emscripten-compiled pdftex. It produces PDF files client-side and supports LaTeX packages.

## Use cases
- compile LaTeX to PDF in the browser
- generate PDFs from LaTeX without a server
- build an online LaTeX editor
- let users preview LaTeX documents client-side
- embed LaTeX compilation in a web app

## When to choose
- you need client-side LaTeX compilation with no backend
- you want offline-capable PDF generation from LaTeX in a web app
- you're building a browser-based LaTeX editor or playground

## When to avoid
- you need the latest TeX Live features or packages
- you need fast compilation of large documents
- you need a maintained, actively updated tool
- server-side compilation is available and acceptable

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: compiler, pdf, wasm
- domain: web-development, documentation, pdf
- platform: browser
- tags: latex, texlive, emscripten, pdf-generation, client-side, javascript, web
