-log2html- from SSC is a wrapper for -log html- and adds a few extra bells and whistles.

You can transform smcl log files quite easily into html log
files, which may be easier to handle. I have not tried this
in huge log files, but this approach may work for you:
*------------ begin example ------------
// make a log file
cd c:\temp
tempfile a 
log using `a'
sysuse auto, clear
reg mpg foreign i.rep78
log close
// transform it into html
log html `a' test, replace
// open it
view browse "test.html"
*------------- end example -------------
