The easiest way is creating an image file of first system (-dpreview).
You can choose between .png:

lilypond -fpng -dpreview -dno-print-pages file.ly


and .svg:

lilypond -dbackend=svg -dpreview file.ly


and then include it manually in your .html file.

This is fine if you want to include few images.
If you have greater expectations, there are other solutions...
It depends on what you need.

I've written a very simple example of file that can be processed by
lilypond-book. Use this command:

lilypond-book -f html file.htmly
