TeX4ht is ideally suited for your purpose. But there is no package
that can be used off the shelf to generate your required html. If the
demand is for a highly customized html, you need to write a TeX4ht
package which needs a bit of energy and learning to know the innards
of TeX4ht. Otherwise a smallish conf will do if your requirement is
for a slightly modified html. Once this part is done, it is a pleasure
to generate your html output from your LaTeX documents.

With your custom TeX4ht setup, you can derive both pdf and html from
the same LaTeX sources with zero effort.

That is quite possible. If you can provide a smallish qhp file, I
shall show you how this can be done. I would strongly encourage to do
it, since, at the end of your project, you will be able to contribute
a qhp back end for TeX4ht.
