Thanks, I wasn't aware of htmldoc or that LibreOffice had a headless mode.

It does seem like htmldoc doesn't support CSS which is going to be a blocker for a lot of people.

Pandoc is definitely worth considering but I didn't include it as I believe it just delegates it's PDF rendering to a configurable engine like LaTeX, weasyprint or wkhtmltopdf.

I've used LO without an interface, but I don't know how effective it will be in general. It's very likely that the ones I mention are limited in their CSS or JS support, but my context doesn't use them (much) so I've got a much wider choice of things I can use.

In my context I'm producing documents that need to be displayed in both contexts, so I steer clear of things that are primarily HTML.
