I've added an APEX WeBWorK course to the demo courses at:
https://webwork.runestone.academy/webwork2/
I've only combed through 6.2 so far, and that's as far as the demo
goes. But I will add sections as they are completed.
Greg, I don't know if people ask you about WW and APEX, but if they
do, I suggest that this Runestone course become the place you send
them to for a demonstration. At least as long as you don't have your
own place to send them.
Separately: In our spring term (late March through mid June) I will be
teaching a calc I and a calc II. For us that goes up to the end of
chapter 7. I will certainly have that much WW combed out, and I intend
to use an HTML version of the book inside Runestone with all the bells
and whistles. I'll have it track that students actually watched Sean's
videos (or pretended to, at least) and I'll assign exercises that
students will just do in the book, and Runestone will track
completion. I'm looking forward to the experiment.

I do get the occasional WW request. The Runestone site looks great, and I'll point people there.
I'm very interested in seeing how your experiment goes - hope you consider it a success.

Thanks for setting this up Alex.
I thought about doing it this summer, but then I ran out of summer.
Chapter 7 is a good stopping point.
I say this as someone who has now built the HTML from PreTeXt in every possible combination, including when it wasn't yet done and we were adding chapters as we went.
Somehow it turns out that Chapters 1 - 6 all have forward-looking references to later chapters. But once you get to Chapter 7, all references are self-contained.
Beyond 7, you start getting broken references again.
