You can do a pretty good job of matching the printed page with HTML5 +
CSS3 here's a good reference:
http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp
Unfortunately, implementation of these standards is a bit spotty. The
problem is in the browsers. Chrome/Chromium has done the best job of
implementing HTML5 to date, IE the worst. with Firefox and Safari in
between.
Similarly, EPUB (based on XHTML) is in a similar situation. EPUB3 is
based on HTML5 while EPUB2 on XHTML1.1 The corresponding CSS support
tells you how well most e-book readers handle the new format. At the
moment, there is very little support for EPUB3 in applications and
dedicated readers (Kindle, Nook & al.)
It's best if you design your document with these formats in mind or put
up with how your document is rendered.
As a not-very-good fallback, you can always convert your document to
PNG/JPEG images and use HTML to simply display them in the proper order.
