Conversion of TeX to HTML etc. is a challenge.

These did not work very well for me:

$ htlatex universal.tex "xhtml,ooffice" "ooffice/! -cmozhtf" "-coo"
"-cvalidate"

$ latex2html source

$ tex4ht ...

I had better luck with the lwarp TeX package. It stumbled on some
aspects of my TeX document, but that was a year ago, and at that point
it was still under early development. I believe today it does better,
but have not checked.
