If you're intending to print it out, why do you want HTML? HTML is
great for screen viewing, but as a format for specifying printed
output it's far from ideal. And putting everything in one huge
document would eliminate half the benefits of HTML anyhow. The other
formats that Norvell mentioned, on the other hand, are intended from
the start to be printer-friendly. What you really want is to have a
version in HTML to view online, and a separate PDF/PostScript version
to print out.
(I'm pretty sure that the tutorial is *not* available as a single huge
HTML document, unless you count the Windows .chm version which is no
more suited for being printed in its entirety.)
