That's IMHO the wrong way around - the question should be which of these
formats you can use as *input* to cl-typesetting [1]. The concept of
typesetting doesn't really make sense for HTML output [2].

Converting the cl-typesetting PDF output to PostScript is trivial, but
PDF is probably more useful anyway.

[1] in a future version - the current one is an (impressive) proof of
concept using Lisp as the input language. You'd need to write a
conversion layer to accept other input formats.

[2] unless you create the document as a huge table with pixel-sized cells
that you render into :-)
