2) with or without underline as per vim colour scheme

3) As you can't derive the hover style from the vim colour scheme, that
is rather tricky. Much in the same way as it is not a good idea to hard
code colours in a vim syntax, I find it unadvisable to specify a new
hover colour as you do not know how it will fit with the vim scheme,
or worse, might have little visibility.

The only way to derive a hover effect from vim would be either
- to invert fg/bg
- choose a different bg such as StatusLine bg


Have you thought about links in comments sections? They have the
comment style in vim. If you want to be faithful to the vim display,
you need to apply comment style.

After all this discussion about links or no links, my first use case
actually required a link! :

I just did a quickie and split the TOhtml() output into HTML/CSS by
hand.
