I admit that it looks more like an abandonware, but probably someone™ could step forward and care for it (I personally lack the relevant competence). Recently I had to convert LaTeX source (XeTeX, in fact) to HTML and in fact the best result I got was with LaTeX->PDF->HTML, where the last convertion was done with this pdf2htmlex. It produced HTML document which looks exactly like PDF produced by LaTeX. So, I thought that this tool can be of use to someone else. Cheers! Lev
