Metaspec: The dpANS3 Common Lisp Specification is now in s-expr format

Greetings, lispers!

I started this project back in 2015, to translate the TeX original specification into an easily parsed format (s-doc), and to create an HTML rendering of that format as a proof of concept. I finally finished it this year.

The project is here: https://codeberg.org/dlowe/metaspectre/

The rendered spec is as complete as I could make it, including both the acknowledgements and the appendix. The TeX math components have been converted to MathML. It has a list of corrections applied to the spec by automatic patching of the s-doc. It is also, as far as I know, the only published version of the draft spec that includes the TeX comments for historical interest.

You can view the rendered spec at https://metaspec.dev/
