MHRA, like Chicago/Turabian, requires that multiple sources with the same author substitute two dashes for the name. So:

What is your purpose to export to simple html? If you write an article or a thesis, LyX (http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/HumanitiesLyX) and Jurabib (which is said to support the MHRA style, see http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX.JurabibMHRA) might be a solution. You can even produce a stand-alone bibliography by using a document processor, of course.
