Unfortunately, I do use it as a source format--for reasons having nothing to do with portable readers; it's just a part of my job--and it would be nice to have a way of converting to other formats.
Very simple things, yeah, you can do with find and replace actions or scripts, e.g., changing \textit{*} to <i>*</i> is simple enough... but there are just so many things that I don't even know how to do with HTML (and MathML doesn't seem to be supported anywhere).... e.g., something as simple as a
fraction x/y, with the x written vertically over the y with a bar in between. How do you do that in HTML? Is it even possible? Maybe with CSS... but even that is beyond my knowledge...

I've been meaning to play around with Latex2html, but haven't found the time.

It is also not especially hard to throw together e.g. a Perl script that handles the files you have available.

It's not, huh? Maybe if I even knew what the corresponding HTML is for half the LaTeX tags I use, I could write such a script, but usually, I don't... and I suspect HTML doesn't even have anything comparable.
