That's what the documentation for makehtml says. Basically what you want to do is use a web interface to set the options then execute makehtml with those options. Quite simple really (atleast in pseudo code). Use checkbox's to enable/disable individual options. If any of the options require a value, then use a textfield with the checkbox. Your largest problem would be to decide whether to send the parameters verbatim to makehtml script and handle the errors it produces or to validate the parameters (and combinations thereof) before sending it to makehtml.
