-mom may be designed for -Tps, not -Thtml, but all
that should mean for grohtml is that it puts out very
presentational, non-structured HTML, without things
like anchors and links and heading tags like <H1>.
-mom with -Thtml could be expected to be awful for
general web page design, but not so bad for putting a
novel online. That's presuming no bugs in grohtml, of
course, which is rather silly, since it's alpha code.
Still, nothing wrong with trying.
