Here is a fragment of my typical Makefile (I beleive it is more than a
decade old :)

%.pdf:  %.tex 
pdflatex $<
- bibtex $*
pdflatex $<
while ( grep -q '^LaTeX Warning: Label(s) may have changed' $*.log) \
do pdflatex $<; done

Good luck

Now I know someone out there is going to claim, "Well then, UNIX is intuitive,
because you only need to learn 5000 commands, and then everything else follows
from that! Har har har!"
(Andy Bates in comp.os.linux.misc, on "intuitive interfaces", slightly
defending Macs.)

Doesn't that support only LaTeX cross-references? We need additional
runs to get tex4ht links correctly. I was also thinking about running
bibtex/makeindex etc. only when needed.

re http://tug.org/pipermail/tex4ht/2016q1/001414.html

don't think we need to turn tex4ht into another latexmk or texi2dvi, but the
scripts could easily have some kind of option to run the latex+tex4ht+t4ht
command just once, which a higher-level script could more easily make use of.

(among many, many, many, other things to tweak in the scripts.)
