Typst( https://typst.app/) Is good Latex alternative which should be mentioned here. Their roadmap also features html as a target.

If only it weren’t subscription model. At least I can still install LaTeX without a credit card.

Typst is Apache licensed. I install it with "cargo install --locked typst-cli". The subscription model is for their web interface with storage. I write simple worksheets for a living, so I've been using it instead of TeX lately. (I've use LaTeX or plain TeX since around 1990.)
