The short answer is that none of this is currently avialable in a
released copy of gnumeric.  However, all of it is trivially
possible.

1) As discussed in other postings a command line based conversion
tool is fairly simple to add,  when I get some time I'll finish the
wrapper in my tree if no one beats me to it.

2) Adding flags to append/prepend custom content to html fragment
would be a trivial extension.  The only fun part would be support
command line arguments in (1) to define where to specify it.
