     Then, there are also <tt>s (which may "translate" into something
     different, like <code> or <em>) and a few other substitutions [1].
     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.
