Problem in PDF output

[Pal Domokos <pal.domokos@usa.net>]

Hi Greg,

I noticed that there's a problem with the PDF (from DocBook) HOWTOs:
1. DocBook requires a <para> or something after a <listitem> tag.
2. Jade retains <para> (as <P>, naturally) in the HTML version.
3. HTMLDoc breaks the line before the <P> tag.

The resulting list looks like:

*
    First item.
*
    Second item.
*
    Third item.

Check 'Copyrights and Trademarks' in the HOWTO-HOWTO to see what I'm
talking about.

A possible solution is to delete the unnecessary <P> and </P> tags from
the single page HTML file, like:

sed -e '/<LI$/{N;s/<LI\n><P/<LI/;}' HOWTO.html | sed -e
'/<\/P$/{N;s/<\/P\n><\/LI/<\/LI/;}' > NEWHOWTO.html

That is:
1. If a line ends with <LI and the next line begins with ><P -> delete ><P
2. If a line ends with </P and the next line begins with </LI -> delete </P

It seems to work.
Others may come up with a better solution, perhaps even with a
better-looking one...

Cheers,
Pal
