Very well:

zcat `man -w ls` | groff -Thtml -dpaper=a4 -P-pa4 > ls.html

zcat `man -w ls` | groff -Thtml > ls.html

However, the output looks a bit strange here (tested with lynx
and Opera), so maybe some additional options are required. I've
just derived this from my man2pdf script and read "man groff"
for the -T parameter.
