Does anybody know this thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeXML ?
Interesting. This does seem (at least in principle) much more thorough
than previous LaTeX/HTML convertors. Apparently the author has pretty
much reimplemented the latex executable in perl, with output XML
rather than DVI (plus onward conversion to HTML5). There's also
support for quite a number of standard LaTeX packages, though not
enough to compile the User's Guide to XML at this point.
