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?
