About the format
HTML / XHTML is the structural language of the web and is literally the content format inside an EPUB; .mhtml (MHTML) packs a page together with all its resources (images, CSS) into one file, which is what "save as a single page" produces. XML is the general markup language that formats such as FB2 and OPF are themselves written in. The whole family is tagged text where the tags carry the structure, so how much structure survives a conversion depends on how well the tool understands them.
