You're welcome.

Here are some test cases I've added since posting. I'd be very interested to hear your comments, especially as regards the "questionable" ones.

'--- tests added 16feb20 after pm#11113014 post ---', '"failing" (i.e., no transformation) tests', [ '' => '', ], [ '*' => '*', ], [ '*_/' => '*_/', ], [ ' * _ / ' => ' * _ / ', ], [ '*fail/' => '*fail/', ], [ ' * fail / ' => ' * fail / ', ], 'possibly questionable transformations', [ '__' => '<u></u>', ], [ ' __ ' => ' <u></u> ', ], [ '__ __' => '<u></u> <u></u>', ], [ ' __ __ ' => ' <u></u> <u></u> ', ], [ '____' => '<u></u><u></u>', '???' ], [ ' ____ ' => ' <u></u><u></u> ', '???' ], [ '______' => '<u></u><u></u><u></u>', '???' ], [ ' ______ ' => ' <u></u><u></u><u></u> ', '???' ], [ '________' => '<u></u><u></u><u></u><u></u>', '???' ], [ ' ________ ' => ' <u></u><u></u><u></u><u></u> ', '???' ], [ '__ __ __ __' => '<u></u> <u></u> <u></u> <u></u>', ], [ ' __ __ __ __ ' => ' <u></u> <u></u> <u></u> <u></u> ', ],
In this particular case the syntax is also meant to coexist with more verbose html tags.
There are cases where one doesn't want to have a whitespace in between neighboring tags.
Can you supply some test cases for variations, especially WRT intermixtures with standard HTML?
