Rather typesetting, usually to a pdf file (at least nowadays).  Of
course, most of the time this means that something will eventually find
its way to a dead tree.  (OTOH, there /are/ TeX-based engines which can
output HTML/XML, too.)

This is a very good choice, /if/ you do not aim for high typographical
quality and/or atypical applications (typesetting of chemical
formulae, musical notation, dictionaries etc.).

Out of curiosity: are there /any/ HTML/CSS rendering solutions
(browsers, ebook readers etc.) which handle breaking paragraphs into
lines in an aesthetically satisfactory way (i.e., employ the
Knuth-Plass algorithm, for instance)?

Do you aim for online browsing only, or for a printed version, too?  If
the latter, how do you handle the problem of (potentially) unstable
forward page references?

Best,
