I have a very nicely formatted file that I created using LaTeX. Now, I'm trying to embed the results into a website, and instead of embedding the resulting pdf document (which I found not to be as straightforward), I thought I could give a try to htlatex. But the results are terrible, not at all what I expected. Some symbols disappeared, sections with underline titles have the line after the titles (instead than from the beginning), space between bullets is all messed up, tables look bad (for two column tables, there are three lines, instead of only the center one), etc.
I really don't know how to put a minimal sample here, as it is a whole document and I can see formatting issues all over the place. I could possibly take pictures and embed them here if you need more info. But I thought there has to be something I'm doing wrong. I'm just running
htlatex filename.tex
Is there anything else I should do besides this? Should I be careful on which packages I include in the LaTeX file?

cannot convert visual appearance of your document, it only tries to convert document structure with some default style. if you want something more fancy, you can use custom config file and provide CSS here to match your desired style.
