Pandoc [1] does a pretty good job. The issue with HTML is of course that by design it doesn't deal with presentation: that's the job of the presentation layer (i.e. CSS) and the user agent (usually a web browser). PDFs, by contrast, state just how they're meant to look.

HTML is the most popular when people visit my website to view my resume and PDF is most popular when people ask me to email my resume to them.
