Why convert XLSM to HTML?

What changes when converting XLSM to HTML?

Convert to HTML when the output is meant to be read in a browser, indexed by search engines, linked from other pages, or embedded in a web application. It is a strong target for documentation, knowledge-base content, public reports, landing pages, and long-form articles that need responsive display and hyperlinkable sections.

It is also useful as an intermediate format for content pipelines that later restyle or templatize the output.

What should I review after converting XLSM to HTML?
