Depending on the quality of the conversion you need, this is a bit
overstated.  Several programs allow very straightforward conversion of
almost anything to HTML by using a printing model -- they are printer
drivers that produce as output an HTML file, so HTML is no further away than
your application's Print command.

Adobe uses this model in their PDFwriter for producing PDF documents.
Myrmidion is an example of a Mac product that produces HTML this way.
