Format with -ms rather than -mom.  I know, not the answer you want
to hear. :( -mom has no -Thtml integration.  She's specifically for
- Tpdf or -Tps (and fairly acceptable -Tascii/latin1/utf8, though
these are not her target output devices).  There are two reasons for
no -Thtml.  One is that, IMO, the driver isn't stable enough.  The
other is that -mom is a more complex macro set than -ms; the amount
of work required to implement -Thtml integration would be huge.

I confess I'm puzzled by the specific error reported, though.  -mom
uses this style to define macros

  .MAC macroname END
  ...
  .END

rather than the conventional

  .de macroname
  ...
  ..

Seems odd that -Thtml would choke on valid groff syntax.
