Thanks for the suggestions.

I've thought of doing this, but this seems really ugly...  I'll see if
I can come up with something more pythonic.


> So your lists never add <p> tags?


I add p tags on all paragraphs except for the first.  I determine
whether to put a <p> tag by checking if the parent element already has
children.

Ok, it's good to know what this is supposed to do.  In this case
everything is doable easily without magic and in fact without any
regular expressions.  I seem to get the same result simply from:

def detab(str) :
    while 1:
        i = str.find("\t")
        if i < 0 : break
        else : str= str[:i] + " "*(TABLENGTH-i%TABLENGTH) + str[i+1:]
    return str

I'll add this in.
