W3C Workshop on Digital Publication Layout and Presentation

www.w3.org

Came across this workshop from 2018 all about comics, typography and other publishing topics in browsers, super cool stuff. I couldn’t find any recordings but most of it is transcribed and has slides, for which I am very grateful, so I’m slowly working my way through them.
