it all depends on where one starts: tex or xml; starting with pure tex, tex4ht 
may be a solution; on the other hand, when one starts with xml, one can use 
context to produce the pdf's and xst to make html documents.

Once you get accurstomed to it, editing in xml is not that bad and for math, 
there are math(ml) editors to make the complex formulas.
