Just a note:  Sweave is more flexible nowadays, thanks to some big 
improvements by Brian Ripley.  It can produce png or jpeg figures if you 
need those.

Can't help much with the original problem.  R doesn't use .tex when it 
needs to produce HTML:  it uses .texi (texinfo) or its own  .Rd format. 
  The latter is unlikely to suit general purpose documents, it's just 
for help pages.  The former is a bit of a PITA to use.

The math actually translates nicely. So there is probably potential here.
