I use a makefile entry

%.html: %.org org-export-cust.el
   emacs --batch -q $< -l ./org-export-cust.el
   tidy -i -m $@


together with this org-export-cust.el script:

;; Batch script to convert %.org to %.html, with external style sheet
;; and other options.
;;
;; Used via     emacs --batch -q $< -l ./org-export-cust.el
;;
(load-library "~/emacs/lisp/org.elc")

(setq org-export-html-style
     "<link rel=stylesheet href=\"l3style.css\" type=\"text/css\">")

(org-export-as-html 3 'hidden)
