Hmmm, so far I've been less than enthused about latex2html output
(more because of HTML limitations than because of the converter's
achievements).

The best way IMHO will be to wait for stable MathML support in
widely used browsers, and then port the manual to MathML.

(It will be easier to generate decent TeX from MathML than to
produce most anything else from TeX source.  MathML "lives" at
a similar level of abstraction from font-level and pixel-level
details but avoids the intractable abysses of TeX's macro language.
And it lends itself readily to tasks like automated indexing and
cross-referencing.)
