I don't completely agree.

JPG is not good for line drawings like schematics. A lossless
compression like GIF or PNG is much better. HTML by itself doesn't
support images (needs imbedded jpg, gif, png, etc.) and has limited text
formatting. I hate it when the only availble document format is
html-based.

PDF is ok, but hard to modify without spending money (like to split a
schematic between multiple 8.5 x 11 pages for printing.)
