fixed in a later commit.
4. Removed spurious markup. The conversion process has left a lot of
<para></para>
entries in the handbook, and they need to be removed. There are a
number of places this happens, and the rules are slightly different
each time.
For example,
====================================================================
Original markup Changed markup
--------------------------------------------------------------
<listitem> <listitem>
<para></para> <para>A real paragraph</para>
<para>A real paragraph</para>
--------------------------------------------------------------
<para>A real paragraph</para> <para>A real paragraph</para>
</listitem>
<para></para>
</listitem>
--------------------------------------------------------------
<para>A real paragraph</para> <para>A real paragraph</para>
<para></para> <para>Another paragraph</para>
<para>Another paragraph</para>
====================================================================
Notice the last example. It's not enough to simply put together a
regexp that matches (all whitespace)<para></para>(allwhitespace)
and removes it, since that would leave you with
<para>A realparagraph</para>
<para>Another paragraph</para>
In the end I got bored of trying to write this using Emacs regexps,
and knocked together a quick Perl script to do it. It's ~nik/bin/para.pl
on freefall.
