For this reason, that no proper LaTeX-to-HTML-converter exists, I 
proposed a standalone doc2html converter, of which I posted a first 
version as patch on sf: http://sourceforge.net/p/gnuplot/patches/683/.

Since I got no real feedback I didn't go on. But the doc format isn't so 
complicated that one cannot have an own doc2html converter.
One could use this converter to get one single-file documentation, a 
multi-file documentation and a responsive version using e.g. bootstrap 
or whatever.
