The best thing would be to write an appropriate filter though,
also because TeXmacs, unlike LaTeX, supports things like hyperlinks.
Furthermore, writing such a converter should not be too difficult (the other
way around is usually more complicated, especially in the case of (La)TeX).
In order to get an idea: I just rewrote a better TeXmacs -> LaTeX converter
in approximately a week; but LaTeX is more complicated than Html...
