I would suggest you look at XML and XSL-FO rather than HTML

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSL_Formatting_Objects

If you're not scared of Java then there is always the apache FOP project 
which is a XSL-FO print driver.  One set of mark up can be transformed 
into any of: PDF, PS, PCL, AFP, XML (area tree representation), Print, 
AWT and PNG, and to a lesser extent, RTF and TXT.

There are also XSL-FO processors for C/C++ and probably Python, though 
I've never used them.
