Does the built-in TOhtml convert links?

I would argue that the link conversion isn't what I'd expect of TOhtml.
I expected TOhtml to simply convert what I see in vim to HTML - a code
snippet that can be embedded in a web page, with the possibility of
copy/paste. (Otherwise, for looks, one could just use a screenshot.)


Just applying the vim style to the <a> tag (instead of or in addition
to an on/off option), I don't think would be that straightforward
either.
For example, my style is a purple fg with NO border. The generated vim
style has no border attribute because normally it doesn't have to
override a default style with border. You would need a
"border:none !important". I just tried this on the fly in FF 3.5 +FF
9 and the no-border is ignored despite the "!important". It takes the
colour but still displays with border.


I appreciate that you don't want to bloat the plugin with to many
options.

I will use TOhtml occasionally to generate code snippets for the web. I
can take the links out manually or write a script to remove the links.
