Documents & TextHTML is the standard markup language for web pages. As a conversion target or source, it carries text content with structural and formatting information that can be extracted or repurposed.
Sobre os arquivos HTMLComparativo de vantagens
DJVU Vantagens
- Extreme compression for scanned documents — typically 5-10× smaller than PDF.
- Preserves OCR text layer alongside scanned image.
- Mature archival format at Internet Archive, Wikipedia, academic libraries.
- Separate foreground/background layers compress each content type optimally.
HTML Vantagens
- Universal — every browser, OS, email client, and document reader displays HTML.
- Plain text, human-readable, grep-able, and diffable in git.
- Flexible — pages render even with broken or partial markup (error-tolerant parser).
- Carries structure, styling (CSS), and behavior (JavaScript) in one file.
- Accessibility-friendly when written with semantic tags and ARIA attributes.
Limitações
DJVU Limitações
- No native browser support since the NPAPI era (~2015).
- Tooling outside Linux is sparse.
- Encoding requires the proprietary LizardTech/Caminova toolchain or djvulibre.
- PDF/JBIG2 now covers most of DjVu's use cases with wider compatibility.
HTML Limitações
- Error tolerance allows sloppy markup to hide real bugs.
- Rendering depends on browser engine — pixel-perfect cross-browser output is an art form.
- Security-sensitive — unsafe HTML can execute scripts or leak data (XSS vulnerabilities).
- File size for equivalent structured data is larger than JSON or XML due to tag verbosity.
- No built-in typing or schema — contract between server and client is informal.

Yes, to a high degree. Standard fonts, headings, lists, tables, images, hyperlinks and page structure transfer cleanly. Custom fonts substitute to the closest match if not embedded; obscure layout features unique to DJVU (frames, legacy macros) may flatten to static content in the target format.
