On the subject of tml->HTML translation being lossy:

Having the following tml code

%I% Look at this!

and applying tml->HTML translation to it, we get the following HTML code:

<img src="/wiki412/pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/tip.gif" alt="IDEA!" title="IDEA!" width="16" height="16" border="0" /> Look at this!

The TWiki variable originally contained in the tml is not recoverable from the HTML, hence the original tml is lost.

How about tagging the HTML in such a way it carries info about TWiki variables? For instance, the HTML after translation could look something like:

<img src="/wiki412/pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/tip.gif" alt="IDEA!" title="IDEA!" width="16" height="16" border="0" /><!--twiki_origin=%^I%^--> Look at this!

In this case the original tml should be recoverable.
But I am sure there are 100s of other reasons why this approach cannot work (in addition to the effort for implementing it)

(By the way, I've first tried with a tag like

<!--twiki_origin=%I%-->

but TWiki would still expand the

%I%

. Hence the use of %^. I guess no attention is paid to

<!--   -->

. Or perhaps it's an intentional behavior?)
