The problem lies with HTMLDocs. It only supports HTML 3.2. So lots of fonts, bold tables etc. It doesn't support CSS, forms and so on. So the output does get kind of weird. It has some specialized markup you can use to do headers, footers, pagebreaks, etc. So if you don't mind using an archaic version of HTML you can get a close approximation to what you want it to look like. Either that or wait and see how Blackstone handles formatting in PDF generation. It may be better for all I know.
