Not sure if this is a @StevenClontz or an @sean-fitzpatrick issue. There were error messages during that build. It seems there was trouble with Asymptote? Some of the log: |

Recreated from sean-fitzpatrick#37 which has some additional discussion
This change will support Codespace users out of the box. I just used it to successfully (by a spot check at least) build and preview the HTML target, which took no more than one hour:
Follow-up builds wouldn't need to recreate the asymptote or latex-image assets, so I would recommend regular users to set this codespace to never expire (keeping in mind you can only do this with so many codespaces before you run out of free resources). I'm about to edit the README to reflect my recommendations and then mark this ready for review.
