  In October 2023, arXiv made HTML formatted papers available to readers. This
was the exciting outcome of over a year of accessibility research and
development with the scientific community. Currently, only 2.4% of research
outputs meet accessibility guidelines. Informed by scientists who rely on
assistive technology, our analysis demonstrates that offering HTML is the most
impactful step arXiv can take. Scientists need HTML now, and emphasize to not
let perfect be the enemy of good enough. In this paper we share with you how
arXiv is achieving HTML conversions from LaTeX now, and our plans for future
improvements.
