Applies a function fn to text, but not any HTML tags or wikilink targets within.

		local result = ""

		while index <= length do
			local first, last, before, match = mw.ustring.find(text, pattern, index)
			if not first then
				result = result .. functor(mw.ustring.sub(text, index))
				break
			end
			result = result .. functor(before) .. match
			index = last + 1
		end
		return result
	end
	
	local function munge_text_with_html(txt)
		return do_munge(txt, "<[^>]->", fn)
	end
