LaTeX is a typesetting language so is designed for producing documents
such as this,  HTML is designed for screen viewing only,  sometimes is
helpful to be able to print out and makes notes on a printed page.

With HTML I can't do complex chemical formula, or mathematical formula,
at all ,where as LaTeX allows this to be done with very little effort.
