Why would html rendering require a network connection? It doesn't seem to on my machine.




Things like LaTeX equation rendering are hosted on a cdn

They can be but don't need to be. Any javascript can be localized like HTML and CSS.

That's fair, but imagine trying to get the average reader up to speed with something like npm.

You don't actually need npm either. You can literally just distribute everything - html, css, images and js in a zipped folder and open it locally.
