I wonder whether it would be easier if guix used HTML in PO files and converted it to plain text when needed; this way, no exact reverse conversion would be necessary.
It's become a kindof de facto standard, that html text in <code></code> should not ever be translated. This is a useful convention to follow so that automatic html translation services can recognise texts which should be left untranslated. I don't see any advantages for Gnu not to follow this convention.
