It's much simpler to just write your novel in Word, generate the HTML, write a small script to scrub out all excess HTML/CSS, then use Calibre to segment into HTML docs by chapter. As far as the HTML for novels is concerned, its very minimal, like a <body> and bunch of <p> tags. I'm not knocking markdown or anything, I just think it's a peculiar choice for writing a novel.
