Tell me more about it. Have you used it to convert a significant LaTeX
document to HTML? If so, was it real, semantic HTML, or did the system
do early style to appearance conversions? Do you think the resulting
HTML would be reasonable input to an ePub creation process?

I tried to try it out, but it was very complicated to install (on Void
Linux) and the documentation was at once voluminous and useless.
