I added the <a href...> conversion, so that part should work now.
However, I am not sure I want to do the thing.
It seems that this requires some CSS parsing to do the right thing.

Also in this example, the italics would span multiple lines, for which I
think the only way to represent this in org is by enclosing each line in
a pair of '/'.

However, is there a specific use case where you need the conversion from
the to be precise? (At the moment it will still
output the content of the but it will not be formatted.

If there is a specific use case, I could maybe make it work for that.

Personally, I use it to edit text fields in salesforce.
For which I do not care too much if the round trip yields perfect
results.

Hi Wim,

I am trying to parse the output of citeproc-js, which does produce those spans -- not veyr elegant, I must say, but that's what I'm working with.

I will try this again in about a day, when I am done with the hard part of my week! Thank you very much,
Matt
