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?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
