That approach involves a whole lot of "impedance" as it involves
transformation into a rather low quality format, namely HTML.
I would suggest that there are two reasonable choices:
a) Texinfo, which is the FSF-preferred format, and
b) DocBook, which is the preferred format for quite a number of
Linux-related projects, and for which there is a direct-to-Texinfo
transformation tool.
Both are transformable into a number of useful formats, and are
sufficiently expressive in and of themselves that the results should
be reasonably good.
