gnome-doc-utils does have Mallard->HTML transformations,
and gnome-doc-tool should be able to handle the conversion,
but it can be a bit flaky, and it doesn't have some of the
newer features that are in yelp-xsl.

yelp-tools doesn't yet have a script to convert to HTML,
so you have to call xsltproc by hand. To get the dynamic
links, you first have to create a cache file. There is a
tool in yelp-tools for this: yelp-cache. Just call it in
the directory containing your page files, and it will
create an index.cache file.

Then call xsltproc like this:

xsltproc --stringparam mal.cache.file index.cache \
  /path/to/mal2xhtml.xsl *.page

Oh, and I *just* committed a fix to yelp-xsl to let you
pass "index.cache" without a full path, so you should
update yelp-xsl from git.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you still have troubles.
