Note that GNU gettext already has code for converting output to HTML on the fly.
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
It's structured as a few C++-like "classes", and should therefore make reuse
possible; the code already has module descriptions that gnulib-tool understands.

Additionally, it has support for producing styled output (color, font changes,
underlining), using an API that works the same for HTML output and for text
(tty) output. [6] [7] [8]

This code is currently used in GNU gettext's 'msgcat' program. I plan to move
it into a reusable library once I have written a manual for it.
