left<a> middle </a>rightcurrently converts toleftmiddleright. An anchor without a destination is emitted as plain text, butconvert_afirst strips its boundary whitespace as if it were constructing a link label.Return destinationless anchor content before trimming. This preserves word boundaries for missing/empty
href, named anchors, whitespace-only content, and nested inline markup.Validation: all 84 tests passed on Python 3.11; public API and actual CLI checks passed, including 50 nested spans. Related open PRs #262 (destination escaping) and #280 (emphasis boundary line breaks) were inspected and do not fix destinationless-anchor whitespace. Alternative BeautifulSoup parsers were not tested.
AI disclosure: this patch and its tests were prepared with OpenAI Codex and verified by executing the tests and CLI.
