I added the <a href...> conversion, so that part should work now.
However, I am not sure I want to do the <span style=...> 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 <span style='...'> to be precise?   (At the moment it will still
output the content of the <span> 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.
