Why not use Latex? Then you get the full 30 years of latex
scientific publication tools that Latex has, with all the
indexing, table of contents, bibliography, page numbers,
cross referneces, tables, figure, graphics, etc.. and
zillions of latex packages that comes with it for free.

Then use Latex2html to convert everything to HTML. Use
pdflatex to generate PDF, generate .ps etc... all from
the SAME plain text source files.  see

http://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/help/faqs/latex/conversions

I do not know why any one will choose a different tool
to publish anything. It is all there ;)
