removing para tags with regular expressions is too fragile #2

Closed AllenDowney closed 12 years ago

For example, if you have a \small before a \begin{itemize}, it causes the substitution in Renderers/DocBook/init.py to fail, and you get a parse error at the beginning of the next chapter.

To do this right, we should be modifying the tree representation of the document. That will also be faster.

This is now implemented in tree_cleaner.py

There are still some regex substitutions, but fewer, and they are more robust.
