There's a way, originating for me from David Carlisle some
years ago, to do this so that one gets the typeset emulation
when CSS is effective and otherwise just "LaTeX" when CSS is
not available, as in a terminal window browser like "lynx"
or "w3m".

For that:

\def\LaTeX{<span class="ltxn">L<span class="ltxna">a</span>T<span class="ltxna">e</span>X</span>}

along with the insertion of the following CSS in some appropriate place:

-------------------------
span.ltxn{
  display: inline-block;
  text-indent: 0;
}
span.ltxna{
  display: inline-block;
  font-size: 75%;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  vertical-align: .5ex;
  margin-left: -.48em;
  margin-right: -.2em;
}
span.ltxne{
  display: inline-block;
  vertical-align:-.5ex;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  margin-left: -.18em;
  margin-right: -.12em;
  margin-bottom: -0.5ex;
}
-------------------------

With slightly more advanced CSS one can omit the class names
on the sub-spans and use "child" specs.
