FWFW, a couple of weeks ago I added "menu_select_menu", which will
allow direct access to the menus from the interpreter, e.g.,

   menu_select_menu ("Global.&Buffers");

will open the "Buffers" menu.  Similarly, 

   menu_select_menu ("Global.&Buffers.&List Buffers");

will exectute the "List Buffers" menu item.

Have you looked at jed/doc/tm/quickref.tm?  In fact, if you have the
approriate SGML tools installed you can

    make quickref.txt
    make quickref.html

to create HTML files as well as a TEXT file.  If you do not have the
tools installed, then look at

     http://space.mit.edu/~davis/tmp/quickref.html
     http://space.mit.edu/~davis/tmp/quickref.txt

I really believe that the text macro source is the best way to go.
That is also how I generate all my web pages, e.g., look at

   http://www.jedsoft.org/jed/madewithjed.html

to see how the text macros simplify the creation of those pages.
