Thank you Willem,

This looks very helpful.

I am trying the code out in a scratch buffer and I am unable to gnerate org
syntax, e.g. with this test string:

(h-2-o-insert-org-source-for-html  "<p><a
href=\"http://example.org/\">hello</a>
<span style=\"font-style:italic;\">world<br/> foo</span></p>" )


Am I doing something wrong?  Thanks,
Matt
