In this context I'd like to recommend Org mode which among other
things is a surprisingly capable document authoring tool which can
export to LaTeX, HTML and many other formats.  I haven't used it for
mathematics yet, but according to the docs you can include LaTeX
fragments that will be converted upon export to HTML to mathjax or png.

The biggest advantage that I have found is that your document is
always valid LaTeX, so you don't need to deal with any of its errors.

Other interesting systems that you might want to look at, but which I
haven't had a chance to use are: Skribilo and Texinfo (perhaps via
STexi (Texinfo as S-expressions)?).
