I have only just detected TOhtml and obviously taken an interest with
my particular need in mind (embed a code snippet on a web page).
Please, excuse, if I therefore not appreciate other use cases for the
tool.

For example, I have created a vim syntax file for a markup language and
a test file containing URL pointing to non-existing pages). If I was to
write an article about it, the point of displaying the test file would
simply be to demonstrate vim's syntax highlighting. Converting the
links would be totally inappropriate.

So, you would just have to apply "text-decoration:none" followed by the
vim syntax highlight class?
